Hi Everyone,

Started my journey at 533.8. I went on my pre op diet and got down to 508 on July 29th 2016. It's been an Up and down road with hip issues and gout but as of November 15th I'm down 142lbs. I would like to be at my goal weight of 220 by my surgaversary or soon after.

Best decision ever and I don't regret it.

I tend to walk 4 miles a day then do gym circuit, stairmaster and weights. Yoga has been great too.

Can't wait to go on roller coasters. post-305934-14792687635654_thumb.jpg post-305934-14792687745761_thumb.jpg

How do you have the energy to do that much exercising everyday. My calorie intake is only 300-400 calories maybe

Mind over everything. I have been big my whole life and finally being able to fit on roller coasters, airplanes and shop at regular stores is a drive for me. It's important to find your drive on why and let that push you beyond what you "think" you could do

      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.
