I never thought it would be me

I never thought I could or would be as successful as everyone I saw on this forum. The first few weeks post op I looked at people posting 100 pound weight-loss thinking if only that could be me! I have to say that it happens so slow and yet so fast! I am one of those people that loses weight every few weeks! 2-3 weeks with our losing weight then a 10 pound weight-loss, it’s so crazy! The biggest thing I take out of this is a new relationship with food that I hope to keep for a lifetime! So excited to see what the next year holds! Good luck to everyone on this journey. I don’t regret it for a second (except not doing it sooner!)

Look at you!! You did it! And you look fabulous!

We are super-close surgery twins!

Same height, same starting weight, and our surgeries were only 9 days apart! (And we're both down 100lbs!) Where have you been hiding?

I don’t know! I haven’t lost any weight in 3 weeks that’s why I did this post, to remind myself! This is getting harder, I just want to get the next 40 pounds off. But I know it will take time. Are you stalling at all?

I went to go look. I had two weeks that I lost no weight (week 5 and 13). So, depending on your definition, no, I really haven't stalled.

What I did realize is the first 6 months I only lost one pound one time. From 6 months until now, I've had 7 weeks where I've only lost one pound.

So the losses have dramatically slowed. I've been more hungry after 6 months, and there is less of me to burn calories. If I want to boost my losses back up, I need to cut back on the calories or start hitting the gym.

My ultimate goal is 30 or 40 more pounds, which will take a ridiculous amount of time at one pound a week.. so I've gotto get on the ball!

      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.
