Count me in. I have been on my journey for a year now, and the pounds are coming off slower. So, my goal is 10 pounds by Valentines day.. stretch would be 15 lbs...

good luck and follow those band rules....

I weighed in Wednesday. I lost 4 pounds last week! I'm so excited. It has been coming off so slow...1 pound a week so I'm thrilled for a 4 pound week!

Last week I did exactly what my surgeon says I'm suppose to do....3 meals a day with a fork, no snacking. Oh, also I didn't have any sweets! Amazing!

15 pounds is my V-Day goal.....4 gone, 11 to go!!:confused:

Happy New Year everyone! I hope that this is a wonderful year for everyone.

I am going to be joining a new ladies gym that reopened in the next town, tomorrow. Access to a gym close enough that it was feasible to drive to has been a problem. Best of luck all.

I want to do this challenge too! I am going to shoot for 3 pounds a week, so that would be at least 21 lbs putting me a beautiful new weight of--221 lbs! That would be amazing.

So here goes, this challenge will be amazing!

Karebare714 - 6 pounds that's awesome!!

I'm checking in after being away for a few days because of the holidays. I'm down 2.5 pounds and only 13.5 to goal. I'm only 4 pounds from 350 and that may still be a lot of weight but from where I started I'm feeling great. It's been a really long time since I can say I was below that and 340 is just around the corner from there.

I got my clearance today to get into some more intense exercising which I'm stoked about. I've been limited to walking and a few minutes on the eliptical. But now I'm cleared to start swing the golf clubs, throwing the heavy bowling ball again and more importantly being able to do some lifting and a more intense cardio routine. Can down begin to do sit ups crunchs and push ups as well. :tongue2:

Keep all the good efforts up and let's see how much weight we can all lose together.

      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.
