I would like to lose 16 lbs too. So that would put me at 48 pounds total lost. I'd love to just go for 50.. but that might be pushing it.. thats an average of 3 lbs/week. I haven't managed to get into a consistent losing pattern yet. YET! I am upping my exercise.. so we shall see.

I'd like to get in on this challenge. Sounds like fun. Put me down for 10lbs. I know it is not too much, but it will be a challenge for me. I haven't been able to lose too much lately. I don't think it is so much that I need a fill, but a diet and exercise adjustment.

Best wishes to all,

Stephanie

I'd like to say 10#. I've just hit Onederland and have a fill scheduled for next week. I've been losing at approx. 1.5# a week so that should be just right.

I haven't been doing so great. Maybe this will motivate my butt into gear. I am at 283 now, so I will try to get down to 265. That will be 18 lbs from now and v-day and a total of 50lbs. I wanted to have lost 50lbs b4 the end of the year but it didn't happen. I am feeling a little down about my weightloss. I had my surgery on Oct 8th and I have still only lost 32 lbs. I want this to happen faster. I am going to start trying much harder from this moment. I just ordered a bender ball and I will start exercizing. Good luck everyone!

      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.
