My highest weight was 347. But when I started my pre op diet I was Down to 324. By DOS I was 306. Today 299. I haven't been in the 200s in years. I know at this size nobody is going to see the weight loss but it feels so good to get rid of the 3 on the scale! I'm feeling like Wonder Woman

I am sure people can tell, but it is more important that you know that the 3 is gone forever!!! Happy 1st Goal Day!

Feels so good, doesn't it? I was hoping to drop below 200 by New Years, but that was not to be....maybe next week. It is sooo cool though, putting on clothes and having them be baggy instead of stuffing myself into them and being uncomfortable all day. The hope that this surgery has given me cannot be measured. I really feel like I am on my way! Congratulations to you....its only the beginning! Enjoy the journey.

I, too, made it to under 300. If I loose 1 more pound, I'll hit a 50 pound loss. Unfortunately, that 1 poundis being stubborn I'm on a 2.5 week stall. :(

      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.
