Hey Fenton - no magic formula really - I just want to get my bmi under 30 initially so that gets me to 240 lbs. I was in that range about 10 years ago and it felt good, althoughI always knew I needed to lose about 20 more. I want to get to around 240 and as I approach that weight, I will see how things are going.

Good luck tomorrow !!

Same here. I'm kind of going off my weight when I graduated hs. I was 250 then and in pretty good shape as an offensive tackle. I originally thought I wanted 250 to 270. Then, as the pounds started coming off, I switched it to a flat 240. We'll see when I get there. At the rate I'm going, I should easily get there by my bandiversary. I'll talk with my surgeon or PA when I reach my goal. They told me at my first consultation that 225 was doable. We'll see.

The big thing for me is, DON'T EVER GO BACK UP!!!!! That is important to me.

I know about the shrinking problem Mike. I swear I've shrunk some as well. :rolleyes:

As long as the only shrinking we are talking up is in height :thumbdown:

      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.
