I can't believe I'm typing this! I'm so close and it doesn't feel out of reach. Sure, it might take me a few more months to get there but I don't mind. I'm thrilled with my progress. At 14 weeks out I've lost 78 pounds. Keep it up to those just starting the journey. Its not always easy but it is wort20170812_202321_HDR.jpgh it!

Hey readytorunagain -

I've followed the plan my team set for me, get my Protein in every day, walk 30 minutes every day, try to get over 10K steps each day. I started the Couch25K program after one month and I'm almost through it. I keep working my program and it's not always easy but every day is a new day to do it right!

Hw: 310
Pre-op:306
Sw: 288 (roughly)
Cw: 228.4!!!!!

I'm seriously impressed woman. Keep it going. You are an inspiration. I lost 15 lbs preop. Surgery was on 8/28. I'm down another 16 lbs. Was just released today to pureed foods and to go back to the gym. I'm walking roughly 3 miles a day. I go back to work in another week so hoping to get a good routine in prior too. I am also in school at night. So, I do alot of sitting. I'm hoping I can get this weight off sooner than later. I'll try the couch25k program.. I did look into it years ago but never followed through. I feel like I can now. Thanks.

We have similar stats! I'm about 18 weeks out and 18 lbs from ONE-derland and it seems unbelievable. Congrats on doing such a great job this far! I can only imagine that 1** on the scale will be there before we know it! It definitely helps motivate me to keep on track! Love reading stories like yours! It's always an inspiration to see someone so dedicated!

Can I ask what your daily protien and calorie goals are!! Way to go!




Hi Nikki - Protein is 70 grams but I don't have a calorie goal. My team asked that I stay away from pastas, bread, excess sugar, alcohol and carbonation. Otherwise, I'm ok to try things in moderation. I find after a few bites at each meal, I'm satisfied. If I had to guess, is say no more than 1,000 calories in a day - probably closer to 700-800.

      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.
