So excited. Got on the scale this morning and it read 199.5. Haven't seen that in 20 years. I thought I got there two weeks ago but I had just gotten a new scale and wanted to wait till I saw the doctor to confirm before I got too excited. I weighed myself before I went and it said 196. Get to the doctors and it was 202.6. It was a cheap scale so I wasn't to disappointed. Was still 6lb less than my last visit. So I went out and got a better scale and it gave me the same weight I had at the doctors. Got on today and lost 3 lbs since Thursday. Down 27lbs since my surgery on 12/29.

thanks everyone. I am super excited. In the past whenever I reached a goal or just done something I wanted to Celebrate my go to was food. Even weight loss goals. Lost 10lbs time to Celebrate with a hot fudge sundae. Bought a new pair of shoes instead. I might get addicted to this new reward system lol

It's official: straight from the doctor's scale -- 195. It's been at least 20 years since I weighed less than 200. While I hoped I'd make it to to "Onederland" I did not expect it. I've been satisfied with just being able to shop at normal stores and "fit" in the world again and have really specifically not focused on the weight number since doing so in the past was more discouraging than helpful.

I am actually only 10 pounds away from reaching my goal -- which again I set at the time as just a dream. I based it on my estimate of what my clothing size would be not any "charts." If I get there it'll will be a huge wow moment. But so was today. Not just meeting but exceeding expectations and doing so in a lifestyle way that I believe I can maintain.

What a miracle.

Best wishes to everyone to reach and enjoy your miracles too.

      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.
