Hi everyone!!

Few reminders...it's NEVER too late to join in. Just post your current weight and then your goal weight. When I like your post, it has been added to the spreadsheet. Please post in this thread as well...It is too difficult to look in a third place for PM weigh ins. A lot of the time, entering the numbers takes forever because the site it's hosted from is up and down. So it continually freezes up on me. Although today it was a breeze..knock on wood!!

Also, I'm no excel wiz. I know the very basic functions. If anyone else wants to take the time to do what Bea used to with the border crossings, I say go for it! I have little kids, so my time is pretty monopolized right now. Once school is back in session, I should have some more time to do that.

Also, we've had amazing progress you guys!! Saw some pretty big losses, same numbers as previous week, and small losses. Remember....any progress is better than no progress or going backwards.

I'm 10 months post up on this upcoming Tuesday and let me tell you...the losses are hard fought now. I work pretty hard to get each pound off. But...it's also about balance too. Learning how to balance life, food, fluids, exercise, family, job, and other responsibilities is always tough for any of us...but the key is balance.

As long as you are not going back to pre surgery bad habits..., all of your efforts, actions, mindfulness, and choices ARE progress!!! So many of us find ourselves striving for perfection....but we are human. And what we really need is just some balance.

Ok...that's my weekly message. You can find me on Instagram at gomekast. Search user and I will come up.

Have a great rest of the week, make it a good one!!

Well I want to say that I will be getting my scale this weekend so I can keep a better count of my weight loss. The digital scale is sending me off. I just wanted to post to say I am still in the game. Lol

Happy Monday morning! I didn't make the best food choices this week nor did I exercise, so I was a little apprehensive this morning but....

146.8!

I just might make my goal for Labor Day! Thanks again for taking over. These challenges actually help me get out of bed on Mondays! :)

      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.
