Dr's appt went great. I've lost 71% of my excess weight. I'm right on target. He wants me to lose 13lbs and be at 160. I want to be at 150. So we will see what happens. post-263608-14628357870388_thumb.jpg

You are doing awesome! Looking really good.[emoji1]. Look at that waist. I understand about going to 150 lbs. that's where I would like to be at also. Well my daughter and I start boot camp classes tomorrow at 5:30 am. We went and sign up today. I liked the location is just about 5 minutes away from my house. We paid for 6 weeks - three times a week and 2 days of Zumba classes! I'm excited will see how it goes. I will keep you guys posted.

You are way more energetic than I am. I can barely get outta bed at 545 am to clean my house everyday until the damn thing sells. I did do a 5k on Saturday and then went hiking trails on Sunday. Now my shins hurt so bad I can barely walk lol. You are doing great. Keep it up.

We made it thru boot camp! But holy cow it was really hard!! I set my alarm at 5am and it was hard to get up but I'm really glad we did it.

I liked the instructor it's more like a mini personal trainer since the group is really small. I'm going to Zumba tomorrow afternoon and then Thursday boot camp.

For sure it helped that my daughter signed up for the class cause I know if she wasn't going with me there was no way I would have got up at 5am to do exercise. It's a plus to get an exercise buddy for sure!

Well atleast you are doing it. I can't even make myself do a workout video at home. I can't wait til this house sells and I can get fully moved so I can get back at it. I miss working out. Great job keep up the good work.

I would like to start posting more on the food I eat now at 9 months out. This is what I had yesterday:

5:10am 1/2 banana and 1 tablespoon Peanut Butter

6:30am coffee with Splenda and fair life milk (this is the reason I couldn't keep dr Weiner diet) I really need my coffee and it needs to be with Splenda and milk.

9:00 3 egg whites with turkey sausage, veggies, and cheese

11:30am premier chocolate Protein shake and 1 cup of veggies

2:00pm coffee again and nuts

5:30pm 1 cup of fage Greek yogurt 0% with a crystal light packet.

7:00pm watermelon and some more nuts

I haven't been tracking my food in my fitness pal! I guess I need to. My weight is still at 169-170. I bumped up my exercise a lot more this past week and have every intention on keeping up with exercise. What I found out that is much easier if I do the exercise in the morning - get it out if the way as early as possible .

So far within the past 8 days I have done 4 boot camp classes and one Zumba and walked on the treadmill 2 times for 45min. I hope I start seeing the scale move, however I will be happy as long as I feel good and see that my clothes fit better!

Hope everyone have a great day!

I was craving a slurpee so I stopped at 7-eleven to buy a small one, but to my disappointment they did not had any sugar free.

However I found this drink that I actually liked and calories are really low plus 7 grams of Protein and 0 on sugars and carbs! Thought I should share it. post-260556-14637669197579_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.
