Awesome! Good for you. I have a 40th call reunion in three weeks.....YIKES!.........you think I could lose 70lbs by then??? LOL. Really, this new fill has me tight. I just hope not too tight. I can't eat in the morning then is loosens up for lunch and dinner. I think I am at a "sweet spot".

The dietician told my DH to use the crockpot for the Protein. She said they go down so much better. I guess I will break out the ol crockpot. Do you have any low fat recipes or a recipe book for crockpots?

I'm sure you look great and you'll knock their socks off! I don't really have a cookbook I just kinda wing it. I'll try to find some recipes for you.

I guess it's because I have more pressing things to worry about at this time, that's taking away from my weight loss journey experience.

Yeah, I got in touch with a few of my old classmates. I don't know if I am going. Talking to them kinda took the anticiaption of seeing them go away. I'll see how I feel in a couple of weeks. Anyway, I got that unfill of .3 and I feel so much better. I think I may be at a "sweet spot". Down 3lbs.

Well, congrats on having only 20lbs to go.......great! Yeah, I don't think I am going to the reunion. I have another engagement that I commited to several months ago. Those people are my REAL friends.

Once again I am journaling in hopes to get back to reality. I think I was eating close to 1500cals . Now, I have it down to 1200. It is tough.

      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.
