Good evening everyone.

This is my weekly check in.

I've been on this weight loss journey now 16 weeks today and down 107lbs.

HW 322

CW 215

GW 185-195

Feeling good still mostly on shakes everyday but starting to try little solid things here and there to work out what I can tolerate.

I'm 7 weeks post op today but 16 weeks since starting my diet.

Feeling positive about the future just got some loose skin mostly under my arms & armpits..

Will need to get into some kind of resistance or weights soon but here in Australia Its summer and heatwave of 100 all week 😭 so not in any mood to workout right now :P

Thanks everyone again for your support

MIKE.

Looking good! I see that you are mostly on shakes still, does that mean you are not eating food yet?

Yoghurt and hummus mostly.

Tried a few solid type things but hard to adjust.. if I eat a little too much or too fast it will come back up so I'll have to figure out what I can or can't tolerate...

But I'm usually pretty satisfied with my shakes anyways :)

WOWEE! You really ARE Superman! More like SuperDuperman! My Hero!

Seems like you Aussies always do better with your Journeys than us Northern Hemisphere types...Maybe the gravity is less down there??😉

      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.
