I have a call on Monday with the bariatric nurse to confirm my medications. I think I need to discuss this with them. Because I've been on other diets before and lost more than this in a shorter time. So something isn't right... unless my body is in starvation mode and it's going to drop a TON all at once. It's really hard not to get discouraged, though, when you actually do what you're supposed to. =( I lost more weight in September when I was eating Taco Bell once a day. lol. Not kidding.

By the way, that doesn't mean that for me, personally, that I believe weight loss is won in the kitchen, rather than the gym. (It's probably different for everyone!) It just means for me, I must be scrupulous about both.

Love the inspiration motto, love the truths behind it. I shared mine, thank you for sharing Yours.😝👍💓

Thank you, this is a relief and I really appreciate your support. It means a lot

I honestly believe in order for me to lose, I must exercise daily if at all possible. I try to walk 60 to 60+ minutes per day. I'm trying very hard to get back to doing my strength training/core exercises but that's not as regular--so far about 2x week is all I manage.

My back hair has definitely gotten denser.

I agree 100%. Another thing that will be nice is not having the doctor blame every ailment on my weight.

I love good quotes, too! There are some gems on that thread.

I've been on my pre-op diet for 5 solid days now and I have lost 1 lb! I thought we are supposed to lose weight on this thing! My surgeon said "everybody" drops a lot of pounds in these 16 days and I have lost 1lb. ONE. And I am starving! What gives!? I have two shakes a day that are 100-180 calories each and one frozen meal under 300 calories and that's it! If I can't lose weight eating this few calories, how will surgery help?
