Looks like Ann is kicking butt. 36 lbs.?! Wow. I need to get some tips.

I lost 2 lbs. this week. I do my official weigh-in on Friday morning. So, put me down for two this week - which brings my total, since surgery, to 17 lbs. lost. Woohoo.

I was stuck for almost two weeks, but added some calories and started exercising a bit, at a real low intensity, and seemed to do the trick.

Let's maybe reset it for 260? I'm sure things are going to level out here soon. But then I go for my first fill on the 19th.

Really, I've been following instructions pretty to the point. Proteins first. 64 oz + of Water a day. I can't stick totally with the 3 meals a day yet. I have a morning snack and afternoon snack, but I make sure they are high in Protein.< /p>

I am trying to get in at least 30 min of good workout a day. I'm sure that after I get past this begining stage things will level off.

You are doing fantastic! Kudos to you. I'm doing the same thing you are, with the exception of a 30-minute work out. I'm supposed to wait 6 weeks, but I did start doing my elliptical machine this week for 2, 15-minute sessions per day and that kickstarted me into losing again. But, I am taking it easy, going slow, and not using the arm things, since I'm not supposed to be exercising yet. (I can walk, but don't on rainy 30 degree days.)

I'm also getting in at least 50 grams of protein per day from supplements.< /p>

      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.
