So I started my journey in January at 388lbs, then on my surgery date June 10th was at 346lbs, then this Monday I hit 299lbs !!!!!!!!!, on Wednesday I went to the gym and broke my recent PB, I arm curled 80lbs x 3 reps on the Cross Pulley Rack( my old PB 15 years ago was 90lbs x3 reps) so I will hit my goal of 80lbs on the arm curl bar by December, and tomorrow we are going to the beach before school starts on Monday, they let me off work this morning since it was slow, I went to Walmart and got some shorts and a T-shirt at a size 48-50, that is now 11 waist sizes down from 60-61w, and I think my first stall is over, s o much to be grateful and happy for but little time to think about it since I am busy setting new milestones all the time now, I feel as if I'm working off perpetual motion now, u feel good then hit a milestone and I want to keep going................

It's been alot harder than any of my diets in the past, but because I wanted it, and now have the tools and knowledge it is very rewarding and it makes you want to do more and more, and it does get easier, I'm even having this tattooed on my back right shoulder next year as a reminder, it may not mean as much to some people but it has very deep meaning for me And made me tear up when I first saw it post-254362-14402021665836_thumb.jpg

      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.
