I hit ONDERLAND today!!! :cursing:

I also got that much needed unfill. The doctor took out a 1/2cc. Boy, do I feel better already. I have lost 11 pounds in the last 3 weeks because I was so tight. Before the fill I was on a 7 week plateau. I am glad the scales are moving, but I do not want to be that tight again.

The nutritionist said that when I lose 15 more pounds I will no longer be obese. That sounds wonderful.

WTG, congratulations

I am still at the same place I was 3 weeks ago. this plateau is a killer, the same 1 or 2 pounds up and down. Am restarting my food jpournal and hopew that gives my weight loss a boost.

I go back to the DR on 12/30 so who knows if I will get a fill or not. I still think I am at a good place as far as restriction, but not losing the weight.

Yay, SUgar! We'll really have to start popping the champagne when you hit the "Overweight" category!

Lynn, good on you for getting back to journaling!

I'm doing OK here. My diet hasn't been v. healthy, but hasn't been bad calorie-wise, and I've been v. active. The problem is that I go online at free WiFi places - McDonald's and an ice cream parlour - so the options have been a bit tricky... But I'm doing OK. I think.

I have 13 more pounds to lose till I'll no longer be obese. Last time I was in the only overweight category I was 18-19 years old, and now I'm 45. Funny how we are happy to be only overweight.

Does Paris have libraries? A library should have internet.

Anyways being aware of food choices is a big part of the battle. Mindless eating is what will kill you. This I know from the last few days.

Scrappy - what a transformation. I bet you feel great.

I took my weight loss scrap book to school today. My before and after pictures look so different. I know we are the same people and we look similar, but wow, how different we look.

Wow, Scrappy! Nice work! I think you also have to update your tag line - you're MUCH more than half way there!

The internet in my apartment will be activated in a week or so. McDonald's isn't that much of a threat, really - there's not much I want to eat here, so no real temptation. I eat the meat and vegetables in an "M" burger (a French McDonald's take on a burger, with good meat, aged Swiss cheese, special roll), and quarter of the bun. At Breakfast, I eat their meager Egg McMuffin, leaving one of the rolls.

The ice cream parlour is more of a threat, but I have to go there, because their connection is more open, and I can download my favourite US TV programs as I miss them. I have one scoop of ice cream or sorbet, and it's manageable.

And that's my menu for the day - late Breakfast, early dinner, scoop of ice cream.

And I'm being v. active - walked almost six miles yesterday. I know I'm losing weight - my clothes are rapidly becoming loose, my pants are threatening to fall off, and my belt is always needing to be tightened another notch.

So I'm in the zone.

Way to go Fenton. By the time you meet that new lady you will have to buy new pants, you wouldn't want your pants to fall off your body when you meet.

      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.
