Hi all!

A little before and after! Had my surgery June 16th and almost at my 6 month surgiversary. I have lost a total of 63 lbs (including weight lost during the two week liquid diet prior to surgery). Weight feels like it's coming off a lot slower now-which is to be expected. Curious...how many calories were you all eating at around 6 months?

At six months I was at about 1000 cals, give or take. I started to slow down too, but I was not exercise as much. Keep up the good work.

I’m happy to hear your weight loss of 60+ pounds in 6 mos. I was feeling like a failure as I’ve only lost almost 60 since August. Now I just had foot surgery and so I can’t exercise like I did before. Feeling defeated. You also look very toned and thin. I see others losing a lot more so I was getting discouraged. I have not been so good while bed ridden and having cabin fever so need to get on the horse again. Your pictures are an inspiration. Thank you!

      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.
