I'm on the 25th too! I was crying last night thinking about some of the skin pictures I have seen.

You look great woman! What was your start weight?

My starting weight the day I started my 2 week pre-op liquid diet was 278.4.

any recommendations on how to be as successful as you?

Sorry it took me so long to reply! I would say the key for me has been sticking to the "basics".... I do no more than 30-40g of carbs per day, at least 60g of Protein, and 80-100 oz of Water. That keeps me feeling full and satisfied for the most part. I also started running and I really enjoy that. :-) Good luck!

  • Inspirational...seriously. I'm about 6 mos and just crossed the 70 lb mark. I don't think I have any conscious memory of being 24 pounds from a weight goal in my entire adult life. It really is quite surreal for me. I am challenged by exercise, I have always loved it, but I have other priorities now, like my babies (2 y/o and 1 y/o). I am relatively active and I did complete a 5 k almost jogging the entire thing in March 2014. But your pics really are an eye opener, I wanted to congratulate you on such a profound transformation, you must feel amazing. I'm gonna keep working on the exercise, I want to be a good example for my babies too. Another 5 K is coming up in May...maybe I will be able to run the whole thing this time. Thanks for your info and the sharing of what you do. :)

You are so close to your goal! You are doing amazingly as well!! Thank you on your kind words! I hope to be able to run my whole 5K too... The training is hard, but every time I complete a run I feel amazing. :-)

@livvsmum what has been your diet post op.... once you could have regular food. I'm just curious and ask this to the ones that have lost a lot of weight so fast like you. It seems the general consensus has been to stick to Protein and veggies and limit carbs...... I pretty much try to do the same.

      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.
