My first goal is not so unimaginable anymore. I started my journey at 324 lbs. I told my doctor that I want to be under 300 lbs. on the day of my surgery. Today my scale read 300.0. I was so excited. When I went to the hospital for blood work today the nurse said that their scale may read differently because all scales vary. Guess what! Their scale read 300.0 also. I was so happy. I am sure I can loose that last pound and even more before Monday. I have just proven to myself that if I want something bad enough I can achieve it.

Thank you for all of your encouragement. I am thrilled about my weight loss. The weight seems to just be melting away. I am loosing about 2-4lbs. a day. I have even begun exercising which I haven't physically been able to do for a long time. I am tempted at times to get off track but my mom is supporting me 100% and she won't let me. She's like a drill Sargent.

My dad is a little concerned that I may be losing too much weight but I am following the diet my nutritionist gave me which is 4 Protein shakes per day, Water and broth. I am also a little worried but as I see the numbers on the scale drop I feel so good.

This morning my scale read 298.:biggrin2:

      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.
