I've been using the jars, I started it from the beginning. I took my highest weight and subtracted it from my current. I counted out that many stones and placed them in the pounds loss jar. Because those pounds count as well. It's nice to see and appreciate what I've already accomplish before surgery. Under this jar I placed a sticky note with the number of stones in it. Then to up date the jar I take my starting weight from my current weight.

Example:

Start weight: 297

Current: 239

Stones: 58

Leave sticky note under jar 58.

I'm on my pre op Protein liquid diet; surgery on Monday ????

I also use the jar, (my starting weight was 254 I am now 232) but I always forget how many rocks (lbs) ive already put in I'll take any tips on that!

And the canvas I love that idea thank you for sharing I'm sooo going to ale one for me!!!'

And yes you are super adorable, you are def my inspiration, when I saw your photo it reminds me of my body type; the thought of being in wonderland and having the body like yours excited and encourages me, all in just what 6 wks since surgery?

Can I ask what workout program you do? Thank you

I do a mix of things. I've worked with a friend who is working on becoming a personal trainer in the past. She taught me how to lift weights. So I lift, run on the treadmill, do the stair climber, I swim laps, and I recently started adding in yoga and Pilates classes. I mix it up. I think doing different things on a regular basis really helped me. I haven't really stalled and I'm 7 weeks out. The longest I've gone is about 4 days without a loss. I usually lose half a pound or more a day. But everyone is different and losses at their own pace when their body is ready. I'm sure my time with stalls is coming soon. But I'm going to embrace it. Best of luck to you. And thank you all for the support <3

Thank you for sharing your exercise regime with me!!! I'm so excited tomorrow is my big day!!

      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.
