Having started at 370 I am really excited to drop out of the 300s. Thought I'd be there with my weigh in today but alas I was 300.3. Darned scale got me again. Oh well hopefully tomorrow. That would be an awesome way to start my day! Soooo close!

Thank you! It was a huge milestone for me. My next one will be when I hit 270. :). I'm on my way.

When I started my six-month pre-op diet back in March, I created a list of milestones myself. Most of them involves times I remember being a certain weight in the past. When I pass one, I bold and italicize it on a spreadsheet. I always feel so accomplished when this happens! 270 is actually my next milestone, too!

Updated before and after. Feeling pretty good. Ready to start getting some more variety in my diet. Started at 370 and down to 297 and still dropping!

      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.
