@kurigotmoxie I've added you to the challenge! Welcome!

@Pam_2-06-2017 You will break through!

@konalisa80It's only a pound! It could only be Water weight! Move on and down!

@Torriluv87No problem! It's never too late to begin again. Every day is a new beginning, heck every meal is a new beginning. You can never go so off course that you can't find your way back. I also feel like I wasted or lost my honeymoon period but a lot of that was with my complications and having to take TPN infusions instead of eating for several months. All we can do is take a deep breath, let it out slow, and say today I will do this, today I will be on track. This is not an easy road and it will be something I struggle with for a lifetime. But I know I will never let myself get back to 540 pounds. I have slip ups but they are minor and alll I can do is start again the next meal.

I am so sorry for my lateness this time everyone. Everything sucks right now. I got diagnosed with scabies on Monday that my doctor thinks I caught at the hospital when I had my paniculectomy surgery. Then..I got fired from my job on Tuesday. Luckily I still have another job but that was the one that paid the most and had the most hours. I am not having a good week.

My weigh in for 7/7 was 261.2.

[mention=319731]cassiegurl[/mention] Did you mean to put 250 or did you mean 260? If you did get to 250 congrats on a great loss week!

I don't know if I gave you an aug 11 goal weight. I'm guessing at this because I'm so new but I will say: 188. It is a wild guess!

      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.
