December 1st~ 227

December 7th- 230. Deep breathing then going to make Protein shake.

I feel you! I was so in the same boat last week! I went back to Proteins, lots of Water and walked 2 miles Mon-Thurs and I lost 4 lbs!! This week I learned I've not really been putting as much effort into my weight loss as I could...

Also, sometimes it's just Water weight and bloating and will go away in a day or so...

Keep up the good work! You are doing great!

Checking in at 336. Down 2 pounds. Going in for my third fill tomorrow. Currently at 5cc/10.

Hoping the liquid phase after a fill will help some more.

      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.
