I was also diagnosed having Hypothyroidism started taking Levixyl 0.5mg for 1 wk tmrw Not sure what to expect or how it will impact my wls and goals. Dilemma to be contributed!! Good luck to everyone, keep up the great attitude and commitment!!! Stay hydrated : )

Wow!!!! I'm in shock with today's weigh in!!

Friday, 6/27/14 221

My goal is 220, let's see if I can lose that 1 last pound by next week!

I really think the hypothyroid med is part of my weight loss this week, but I have been drinking lots of Water and most definitely getting my Protein in, 50g daily

Tmrw marks 2 wks on it I'm on this thyroid med, it could explain why my fellow November sleever's have drop double my weight! Happy for everyone!!

Good luck everyone, keep up the great job and stay hydrated! : )

275.4 this week. I'm guessing that I will not reach my goal of 270 with only 1 week to go. :-(

CW this week 174 - won't be hitting my goal either. Losing only a pound or less a week isn't really what I was hoping for. Hoping the scale will catch up to my healthier eating habits and the abundance of exercise I've been doing. It's surely not showing it on the scale. Very discouraging.

I am a bit overwhelmed with work these days as I prepare to relocate to the Middle East. I will be taking a leave of absence from my regular job for 9 months in order to 1) complete my PhD, and 2) do something I've always wanted to do...teach in a university classroom. I am currently jumping through hoops in order to prepare my company for my leaving as well as meeting all of the strict requirements for working overseas. I will be working at the Texas A&M Qatar campus and couldn't be more excited. There are drawbacks, of course, including a serious cut in pay (I'll be making 1/7th of my current salary, and I'm the primary breadwinner!) Also, my husband will not be coming with me for this assignment, although we are hoping we can plan a trip for him to come for a visit around Christmas. I'm telling all of this to let you know that I will not be able to manage the data for another challenge after this one. While I've had a heck of a lot of fun with these, I am just a bit overwhelmed at the moment and need to take a break. I hope that someone from this group will pick up the baton and run with it. I'm hoping someone will come up with some new ideas for the group, some new and exciting ways to keep people active, motivated, and engaged. I will miss this part of my week, this checking up on everyone and marking the group's progress, but I am in need of a break and can't figure a way around it. Can't wait to find out who is going to volunteer to take the lead next! Thanks so much, Bea

Still so sad you will be busy but sooooo soooo excited for you!!!

Anyone willing to do the spreadsheet??

If not maybe we can just keep it going generically lol

I can cheerlead but I don't know how to do the spreadsheet... Maybe set the next check in for Labor Day!!

      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.
