Glad to see everyone doing well! :D

Things have slowed down yet again, but the weight is still coming off. Weighed in at 264 this morning. My first big goal is to get down to 250. I haven't weighed that since I was probably in middle school, so we're talking damn near 30 years ago. Haven't been able to get to the gym much lately but still getting my walking in. Hoping that once I get back to the weights it'll help things get going again.

Keep up the great work everyone!

Hey all!! Sleeved 1/30 and doing pretty well. Feel fortunate I haven't had any stalls yet. I lose each week sometimes only 2lbs but I've lost up to 5 in a week. I'm female 5' 5" and my goal weight is 145lbs.
SW: 315
Current: 248
Total lost: 67lbs!!
Hit my 3 month goal of 250. Next goal is to be under 220 which I haven't seen in over 10 years...then I'm full steam ahead to onederland!!

Hi all! So I'm at that stall that I've been reading others have had and it's so frustrating! A year ago I stopped weighing myself when I hit 295. I'm pretty sure by last July i was around 310 based on my clothes. I knew I had to do something before I died from all my health problems (uncontrolled diabetes even on insulin and 2 different pills, high cholesterol, severe sleep apnea, liver problems and blood pressure increasing). I kept putting off my final clearance for surgery because I was afraid. I managed to loose and get back down to 280. But that was not helping my health issues. So I went ahead and decided to get it done. My pre op weight was 272 and down to 262 the day of surgery 1/16. I'm now at 226 which I know is great but I've only lost 4 pounds in the last 4 weeks! I'm so frustrated and feel like I'm loosing this battle ☹️.

Hi Jackie my weight loss is slowing down too, in the last month I only lost 5 pounds. I can eat more now and I regularly hit 1200 calories per day and often more. Don't give up! Slow loss is still loss :) I am starting exercising more to make up for the increased calories intake.

Hi Criolelaie! Thank you, it's good to know you are not alone on an island!!! You are so right, slow loss is better than no loss, I just have to keep telling myself that. I've started swimming to help with exercise so hopefully that will start some more loss. Thanks again and keep up the great work! [emoji4]

      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.
