34 days to go. The other day I was weighing in at 211lbs. My goal was to get to 205lbs for my next appointment which is on the 8th of July. It's my final appointment and weigh in before surgery 2 wks after that. I can't drop below 205lbs or I drop below required bmi from insurance. I woke up today and now I'm at 206lbs! ? My weight fluctuates so much. I can't wait until I don't have to worry about losing too much. This has been incredibly tough believe it or not. I will definitely wear jeans and tennis shoes to the last weigh in. I want to be in onederland by surgery date! I hope. My feet are starting to hurt and I don't want to wait anymore for getting some of this weight off!

Good luck to you! You are almost there. It's hard to be on a diet and not lose too much. My PCP told me to only lose 1/2 lb per week...I have NEVER been on a diet when I tried to lose as little as possible. It is very difficult. My husband just laughs at me lol

I have to ask, how tall are you? 200 is not a bad weight for many

      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.
