All right folks, this is why I have not been posting. Two weeks ago when I weighed myself I was 207 which was a two pound gain. Every time I weighed myself I was get something different and sometimes drastically. I changed the battery in the scale thinking perhaps that was the issue and I still had the same problem. I even bought a new scale and I would get different readings through out the day. In an attempt to not go crazy I decided to stop weighing myself everyday. This morning I was 205. I realize that is what I was a few weeks ago. To help move things in the right direction I have returned to the pre op liquid diet. Today makes day nine. I hope to have shred more pounds by the time I finish the liquid diet next week. Because of the craziness with the scales I cannot tell you how exactly my progress has been the later half of June. My concern is that I am entering into the phrase when weight loss will be more of a challenge. Around the middle of the month I had my 6 month check up. According to that scale I weighed 208, so if we could think of it as a three pound lost since then. In the last few weeks I have been 205, 206, 207, 208, and 209. Let's hope that from here on out that the scale will continue to move in the right direction. Due to the craziness of the last few weeks I did not think I will hit my goal for this challenge or even be close. :( I will try to take that in stride and keep pushin'. Once I go back to solid food I am going to go about things differently, so I have a plan in place. I know I have lost close to 100 pounds and that is in itself an achievement, but I am not where I need to be and I have to keep working until I get there. Thanks for reading.

185.8 this week, but I've been pumped full of Fluid following orthopedic surgery. Working hard to not feel emotionally discouraged by these fluctuations.

      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.
