:) congrats to you. I almost cried when I weighed in 180s today, haven't seen that since 6 years ago. I was able to wear my red onsie which is 1x, it was collecting dust for years lol. Cheers to the wins!

Congratulations!! You're right; the wins are awesome -- infectious even. Keep up the awesome work!

You always remember getting under 200. Someone said that for whatever reason you don't recall going over it. Thoughts?

Congratulations that is a big milestone

My parents and I did Phen-Fen back in 1997-1998 and I lost from 275 down to 175. I was under 200 from about April 1997 to June 1998 -- the only time in my adult life that I was under 200 pounds. I have always remembered those dates, and this milestone is extra important to me because I've only been under 200 pounds for a short time of my 41+ years on this Earth.

I've got 19 pounds to go. It's funny; my motivation is even greater now than it was before...

Congrats!!! It really is a huge milestone.

I'm currently 14 pounds away from Onederland and 23 pounds from my first goal (190 lbs) and 38 pounds (175 lbs) from my surgeons total goal from me. It seems so close yet so far. My weight loss has slowed a bit this month but still losing 1-2 pounds most weeks. I'm a week shy of 5 months out so I'm feeling good.

I understand how you feel. At this point, I don't have much to lose, so it is much slower. I expected it to be that way, but when you get so close to goal, you want to get there. I am hoping to get to goal by the end of the summer. I think that is realistic.

Keep up the great work! You'll be there before you know it.

If you click on my profile, I have a before picture made 3 days before I began my six month pre-op diet program. My current profile picture was taken last Friday. (The "after" picture in my profile was about 28 pounds ago. I have no idea how to change it and I given up trying to figure out how to...)

      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.
