Your husband probably has a higher BMI? I notice those with more to lose, usually lose more weight faster. I'm sure you will do fine. I have my surgery next Monday.

OK NORMAL is DIFFERENT for Everyone. 25lbs in 6-7 weeks sounds like your doing just fine.. your only 200lbs. it would be different if you were 400 like i used to be. dont worry it will come off.

You look awesome and it's so noticeable that you are slimming down! Take a picture and put it side by side. You will see it! I can't wait until I have my surgery and we can experience this together. Think long term. I think one year from now we will be strutting our stuff at work in cute little clothes!

      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.
