Only lost .5 this week. Considering the holiday temptations, I guess it could have been much worse. Merry Christmas everyone!

Got it...you're in on the Valentine's Day Challenge. Today, I broke my big stall/gain by ending up with a 1 lbs loss for the week. I know the whole next week is going to be a struggle (TONS of sweets on hand everywhere), but I'm going to do the best I can and not stress when I slip a bit. My biggest confidence, however, is that a "slip" these days is not nearly the awful thing it was in years past. This year I feel confident that I can "cheat" with a cookie or a piece of chocolate without it being the start of a long, slow descent into the land of "comfort foods".

What makes me so confident this year? Why, it's because I have this group to come to for help if I should falter and for accountability week by week! :D

I agree Bea, I too feel that when I have a treat its just a once ina while thing and ill be running tomorrow and back on eggs and chicken. I honestly cant wait for this week to be over!! Not looking forward to standing on scale tomorrow.

Is it too late for me to join this?!

If not my starting weight is 192lb - goal weight for Christmas is 182lb. Fingers crossed!!

After my stall last week, I am checking in today at 183lb. 1 more to go for my New Year goal! I'm so glad I'm part of this challenge, it's definitely going to keep me focused over the next week! Thank you so much for doing this, Bea!

Yep, I'm definitely not reaching my goal for New Years.

Checking in at 184.2.

There's no way I'm losing 4 lbs in a week. That hasn't happened to me since the first weeks after surgery. :-/ oh well...

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
