Doing good! Learning how to navigate life with my new stomach and new size. I am stuck at 185 for a few months now. I decided not to stress about it. I would like to lose at least another 15 lbs but I also know what it is going to take. I know why I am stalled. I have let some bad foods back in my diet. Exercise is a huge part of my life now and I have been telling myself it is ok to splurge even though I know it is not. All in all I am very happy with this decision. I wish I had a little more restriction and I wish that my sweet tooth went away! I lost 85 lbs in total and I feel so much better. I think maybe we are all at the point where we need a restart on our diets and to get back on track?!??

I have been doing well. I ended up losing 100 lbs total with 20 more to go but frankly I am happy with the 100 lbs loss and if that's what it stays at then so be it.

I found out a few weeks ago I am pregnant so that was a surprise to both me and my husband. We weren't going to start trying until October.

Now I am gaining a little weight but it comes with the territory. I am just hoping that after the baby comes that I can lose everything I gain during the pregnancy.

      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.
