Went shopping today for new work clothes and I NEEEVVEEERRR thought in a million years I would wear a size 4/6... I'm so THANKFUL to God for this opportunity and even though I may fall short at times, I'm going to work HARD to never go back to where I was before.....

Hw: 240

Sw: 232

Gw: 160

Cw: 138

We have similar stats, I am 5’6 and 234. I really would like to level off around 160, so I have a goal weight of 150, and then I want to increase my calories so that I don’t lose anymore. This is the one thing that is making me really nervous about the whole surgery, and even has me second guessing at times. Did you choose to keep losing after you hit your goal weight, or were you unable to stop? Also, did you have any issue with skin? By the way, congrats!!

THANK you... I don't have ALOT of loose skin.. Just a little on my arms, stomach and thighs but it's not extreme... My weight stopped where it wanted too... I just finished a 21 day Daniel Fast eith my church so that took me from 142 to 137.. I think my body is comfortable at 140

      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.
