I can't believe it....I got on the scale this morning I have now lost 100 lbs!!! I cannot believe how my life has changed in the last 9 months. The time has gone by so fast....this is the best thing I have ever done for myself. I was self pay and it was worth every penny to have my life back.

Just know anyone who is struggling, it gets better and the weight will come off....you do have to work at it, but if you follow your doctor's orders and you exercise, you will succeed!!!

Good Luck!

It can be done!!! I will agree with you COMPLETELY! By far the best thing I ever did for myself.

Eat right and move, move, move. Then, when you feel like you can't move anymore ... MOVE some more :sad_smile:

I am two lbs behind you and can't wait to hit that magical 100 mark.

CONGRATULATIONS and keep up the good work!

      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.
