Wow, looking at your numbers, you have done fantastic since your surgery. I would like to join you in your March Madness Challenge. I think by March 31st, I can lose 25 pounds. It might be a bit ambitious but I think it is doable if I stay the course.

Fran, Welcome to the challenge.. I am sure you will be successful in your loss.. I think most of my loss has been luck ha ha now the real work begins.. Although my doctor tells me it should never be hard.. It may be work, but not hard.. I am getting ready to go in for my 3 month f/u appt and hope to be down a few more lbs.. I am looking forward to this weight-loss challenge.. I am hoping it will help me be successful at reaching my goal :huh2: I just bought and elliptical and treadmill so I am hoping that will help me get on the exercise band wagon again..I fell off in Dec when my grandfather passed away and I have just had a heck of a time getting back into my routine.. Well hope this helps.. I am glad you have joined me :glare: We will do fantastic !!

well I made it to 86 lbs lost.. it was a tough few months.. I sprained my foot, had siatic nerve issues, and blisters on my toes from walking so much.. All put me out of the exercise commission for a little bit.. AMAZING how that stuff happens when you have a goal ha ha.. ANYWAYS.. I was only 14lbs away from my goal not to shabby I will take it :biggrin: I am still working though. I wanna hit the 100 lbs mark ASAP :cool2: and then will set a new mini goal.. i hope everyone else is doing well

      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.
