Thanks again for organizing this, Bea! I'm at 222.7 this morning, so down 2.8 pounds since Last Friday.

Reading through this list, I'm so envious of the 4-15 pound losses, but I'm only in week 5 and I haven't stalled yet. I'm losing a bit less each week, but so far, still losing! I still have so much to figure out, but the biggest struggle I'm having in this journey is the head game. This whole process is so mental!

I'm easily getting in all of my Water and averaging 80-85g Protein, but that seems to leave me at about 800-850 calories/day. Wondering if cutting those calories would cause me to lose more or to stall. Doc says just eat to a comfort level and strive for 2-3oz. protein and 1oz. veg per meal, otherwise no other restrictions. I've added the 1/2c. per meal limit based on what I've seen around here. Thoughts from other experienced people? Maybe I need to just chill out and enjoy the fact that I'm still losing and not stalling. :)

Didn't lose a drop. In fact, I gained a lb. + 1. Not happy, but I'll keep trying.

      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.
