I also would like to join and this will be my first challenge. Although I'm still getting real foods back gradually after 12/16/15 surgery, so I really am at loss on what the realistic goal might be.

I'm 322 now, let's just throw out there 305 as the goal.

I know that's a lot, (especially as I'm seeing the 3 week lull in loses right now, which is expected) but with my BMI I'd like to give it a shot. I may need to revise the goal come February 1st, and I'm ok with that. Honestly any lose is the true goal, but setting the bar high for myself will help push fluids and Protein, and yep starting that thing called exercise.

Thank you VSGSarah3 for taking this hosting on!

I'm in. I am still in the beginning stages of pre-op and will not have my surgery until after tax season is over. However, I have been pushing myself as hard as I can since I started my weight loss journey last April. I will post my starting weight on Monday. My goal weight will be 389, that's 100 lbs down since I started.

      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.
