I'm in - my first challenge, I am sooo excited. Ok, starting weight 314 would like to lose 25 lbs in 10 weeks, ending weight 289 - wow that is less than I weighed when I got married 11 years ago! I will post a current pic as soon as I figure out how to do that.

It's Sunday evening, in Australia, but I'm not going to be around tomorrow to post, as I'm going to Sea World for a couple of days (haven't decided if I'll take the laptop or not), so thought I'd do it now.

Weight this morning - 93kgs/205lbs

So down 1kg/2lbs since last Monday. I'm sure I'll pile on a few during the next few days away though LOL.

FIRST WEIGH IN SINCE JOINING CHALLENGE

Starting weight 225

Todays weight 223

Lost ```````````2 pounds!

Total to meet goal set for this challenge 18 pounds~

Oh my gosh, I think I hit another goal today~ That goal was to weigh the same or less than my father which hasn't happened in a very very very long time!!!! Today however is the day where I think I matched his weight!!! I will call him in a little while to confirm that, but EHA I think I did it~ Is this what is called an NSV?? YEEEAAAAAAAHH ~~

I guess my friend chasing me with that snake did have some benefits..ehehehehe

This will be my first weight loss challenge since being banded. I am going to aim for twenty pounds, and will be happy with 15 (I've not had a first fill yet). I will try to post a picture once I figure out how to. Good luck to all.

This morning I'm 253. Yep, that is a 2 lb GAIN for me. :) Wish I could say it was all muscle, but I'm nearly positive it has something to do with ice cream, chocolate, oh yeah..and Mexican food!!! Thankfully I'm headed to the doc's office today for a fill which should help with my restriction, and always gives me a psychological boost as well. I was scheduled for one Aug. 19th, but rescheduled because I had good restriction and had lost about 13lbs in the 3 wks since my last fill. I am a bit nervous that I have a leak, as my fills seem to last only 3-4 weeks, then nothing! Of all 6 cc's I should have in my band, my doc was only able to get 2.5 cc's out at my last visit.

Great job Keri, Kim, Loulou, Porclndoll, and Parvathi! 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.
