A lot of the post-op trials and tribulations now seem to be in the rear view mirror. The scale is moving again and I am within inches of being under 3 bills. Whuuuut!? I never thought I would see this. Also, I've got 110 pounds left to lose but this number does not seem nearly so high anymore. I get two really close milestones. The first one is being under 3 bills, then the next is no longer qualifying for surgery. :P

Congrats! I know it's an amazing feeling breaking that 300 mark! Now if I could only get this last 8 lbs to shed so I can hit my 250 mark!

Congratulations on moving into Twoferville, keep it up Big Buddy, keep it up. The shining Finish Line is Ahead, you came this far without crawling, you'll cross this Finish Line standing straight up shaking your fist at all the Nay-Sayers. If you need a plump cheerleader who has nothing booked until her own surgery sometime next month, I am quite available. It would take my mind off of my own life, I'm stuck in a reciprocating cycle, explode, implode, explode, implode. Along with my other July goal, I will either be evicted or in a house of my own. Doesn't make sense? Try living it! Thinking about you heading toward 250 keeps me from making reg rugs in the Home for The Bewildered. Your friend Frustr8😪

      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.
