I recently celebrated a huge victory! My stomach (around the belly button) went from 63 inches down to 34 inches!!! Almost 30 inches lost. Holy moly! !!!

That is unfathomable. Even better my waist (my skinny part) is 31 inches, from 56 inches. So crazy! !! Measure those inches they matter!!

Sw 333 pounds, size 24

Cw- 174 pounds, size 12/14 canadian/10 american

Height 5'6"

Shout out your victories!

I'm exercising so much easier! I have lost 50 lbs with 50 to go, but what a difference 60 lbs makes on the joints! I am going 4.0 on the treadmill and I could barely do 3.0 a year ago! I'm amazed at how much easier it is to walk, hike, bike! Very happy!

SW: 263

CW: 213

I need to buy a tape measure to see my inches melt away!

I am actually running, yes running intervals on the treadmill for 20-40 mins!!and this is the set it & forget it program because the treadmill picks how long & how fast the intervals will be.

I have lost 56 pounds, I am thinking I would like to go for another 40, more likely after another 30 I will be close to where I want to be forever.

I am totally loving going to the gym & lifting weights.

I love, love this 2nd chance at life, and being a healthier me, wife & mother.

      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.
