Don't get down on yourself you are doing great! I have only lost 20 lbs since surgery. I feel like it is way too slow but both my primary and surgeon are happy with it.

@@mduffield You of course look beautiful and I'm sooooo proud of you! I have too been taking a b-12 injection and I have to take an Iron pill since I've been anemic since I was 16. I'm so jealous but proud all at the same time! Cheers to you!

What excercise are you doing

I do a running program every other day and do yoga/walking on my off days. Hubby got me a Fitbit for Mother's Day so I can't wait to use it when it arrives tomorrow!!

@ Veronica Page - your always so sweet and encouraging! I'm proud of YOU and every person on here, who is working hard, for the goal of better health and life. We all have our own pace but it's still victory in the end!

On a side note - I can't only get about 45 ish grams of Protein in a day but my labs showed perfection on my protein levels. I was so worried but it's funny how different everyone's body can be. My dr is happy for me to keep doing what I'm doing!

I have a loooong ways to go and a FAIR share of scary saggy skin! That being said I've been very diligent the past 6wks at the gym and it has helped! I also use a skin firming lotion. Aveeno brand.

I actually like going to the gym although I wish I could learn how to use the weights a lil bit more. I have a trainer but he doesn't use hardly any weights. I do an hour on the treadmill and burn about 600 calories there and then do the bike for about 30 min only burning 100-150. I feel off the food wagon and reverted to old eating habits but I think it is cause the weight loss has been so slow that I just get emotional about it and you know what happens when I get emotional. I eat and get even more mad and just keep on eating. I hope that I can get back on the wagon and make better choices over the next couple of weeks. I would really like to lose 5lbs in the next two weeks before june and then I would be really happy. Fingers crossed and I hope everyone has a really awesome weekend!

Blood Sugar numbers

Got my blood work done.

Cholesterol numbers down 80 points BUT my pre-diabetic number has stayed the same-117. My Doc isn't concerned but I thought it would go down.

Wondering what others experiences with blood sugar has been?

      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.
