I'm almost 3 months out (12/30/14). Today, I got on the scale and I am officially UNDER 200 pounds!!! I can't remember the last time I've seen under 200. I started the process at 257, my BMI was 41. I am more than HALFWAY to my goal!!

Up to this point, I have tried really hard sticking to the foods suggested by my surgeon. I am trying to keep each meal around 200 calories with minimal snacking. I'm drinking 64 ounces of Water each day. I would still like to improve on increasing my Protein. I'm getting about 50-60g/day. I would also like to improve my exercise. I was in the gym 4x/week. But I've been slacking on that and I need to get back in there.

Just so excited I wanted to share with everyone! To those who have stalled...keep at it. You'll get there! :)

To theBombMom: Congratulations! That is fantastic! Can you give a few examples of what your are eating that is under 200 calories and providing that great amount of Protein. I'm still in the pureed and smoothie phase and can only drink/eat 4 oz at a time. I'm not getting all of my Protein in and could really use ideas.

      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.
