Welcome to the Valentines Day weight loss challenge! Im Sarah (vsgSarah3) I have taken over the weight loss challenges form Stephh so she can focus on her new coming addition!

Please be patient with me as I work full time and have 3 kids to care for. I will do my best to update every Monday, Tuesday at the latest. This is my first time hosting so please be kind!

I think its best to keep the same basic rules Stephh had going so he goes.

The challenge will run from Monday Jan. 4th through Feb. 15th. This will give a total of 7 weigh in's. Please add your starting and goal weight on Jan. 4th and your last weight on Feb. 15th. I will also update the spreadsheet on Mondays.

The link for the spreadsheet is:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ZuOPpFyp_aGa6UQwcWiFzo-JTQVBrmFIot417Vq10qA/edit?usp=docslist_api

Rules and Reminders:

1. You will know the spreadsheet is updated once I have liked your post

2. Post weigh ins here, in this post only.

3. We are all here to support each other, so if you have questions posted here they will be answered by anyone else willing to help.

4. If you want to adjust your goal weight please add it to your reply in this post.

5. If you miss a weigh in, no problem! Just post it with your next weeks weigh in.

6. If your screen name changes please let me know your old and new name.

7. If you miss 3 or more weigh ins I will assume you no longer want to continue the challenge and your name will be removed from the spreadsheet.

This challenge is for anyone! If you have not had your surgery yet, if you just had surgery, or if you are just in maintenance and need to have some accountability, this challenge is for you!!!

Spreadsheet link: (please let me know if you have trouble with this link. First timer

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
