I know a few of us have gotten stuck in a certain weight bracket for a while. I found a way to help jump start weight loss again. My husband has started his pre op diet for his surgery. Seeing as tho I've already went thru this and know how hard it could be without support I decided to help join him. I went and got a jar of body fortress and started a liquid diet again only this time I included just one meal a a day. I've lost 5lbs in just 5 days! My diet plan goes like this Breakfast: 8oz shake Boiled egg Snack: Fruit Lunch: 8oz shake Veggie or fruit Snack: Yogurt or 5 crackers w/tuna salad Dinner: Any type of lean meat Raw or cooked green or mixed veggies Snack: Fruit Yogurt Or sugar free popsicle Remember drink plenty of Water. Continue exercising

Thank you, my surgery was 4/25/12 my goal is between 144-150, I'll stop at whatever weight looks good

In this pic I'm wearing the same shirt as u see I'm swimming in it now first pic 263 lbs, next pic 196 lbd! Just need to tone and sculp, praying I don't have to do a skin surgery!

Sorry didn't mean to post so many times

Wow Great Job

Thanks! I can't wait to hit my goal weight, or even just to get out of my 200s just 18 more til I'm under 200lbs

I'm 5'5 228 right now and I wanna get down to 135-150. 150 is probably more realistic but I wanna be as far away from 200 lbs as possible

Well I lost 20 while on the 3 month supervised diet, then 10 on my pre-op diet then 8 after the surgery I'm still on the full liquid diet until next week. I did a lot of walking to help drop, I can't wait to do full body work outs, ready to lose more!

I've lost 8 lbs since surgery! Which brings me to a total of 38 lbs....2 lbs away from 40....I lost 20 on the 3 month supervised diet and 10 on the pre-op diet! I'm currently 225 and ppl who don't kno I have the surgery are starting to tell the difference, I'm hyped.....my only problem is being hungry and the hunger pains come with a vengeance! I get full fast but I don't stay full on my liquid diet. In the middle of the night I wake up with horrible hunger pains. Is anyone else having this problem

Is it normal for your port spot to feel numb. I have no feeling on that side of my tummy. Has anyone had this issue?

Right underneath my incision.....its weird, hope it doesn't last long

Lol I'll be able to eat my first meal on my bday I can't wait lol

God bless!

What have you or are doing for your clear liquids?

I am so excited....I hope everything goes good for us all

They told me I might depends on how well I do after surgery....I told my hubby I was gonna try my best not to be a baby lol but we both now I have a very low tolerance for pain lol. I had a laparoscopic surgery before and I was such a baby lol

I wish mines was that early lol, I know the excitement will keep me up and once I finally get to sleep I'll probably wake up extra early lol.

I've been walking, my surgery is 11:45, when's yours?

Oh its been hard from day one...I'm getting used to it but its hard because I have to cook for my family...I am craving everything even foods I don't like! I have 3 more days til my optifast diet is over, then 2 days clear liquid then surgery in 25th

Thanks Jim....I've already planned my meal cuz the day I get to eat solid foods lands on my bday...but I'm not going crazy....I feel at the rate I'm going I could be out of my 200's in July. Last time I was under 200 I was in high school, I'm very excited to see the lbs drop while I'm on this liquid diet

Its a killer, I'm getting used to it tho....I've been on it for a week and I've lost 6lbs already. I'm sooo hungry and everybody around me is eating my favorite and least favorite foods lol.....its funny cuz I'm craving my least favorite foods lol....but I'm doing good,

Anybody from/live in Delaware scheduled for surgery

I add crystal light to my shakes it makes a great difference, I also add ice. The doctor also suggested a sugar substitute and maybe like a banana extract. Chicken broth and jello and plenty of water will help you, but truthfully I'm ready for this liquid phase to be over lol

Yes I've been calling April 25th my new bday....I'm so excited, I'll be glad to get out this liquid phase lol....my husband is next....I really wish he was able to go thru this with me, his process starts 4-19.....we are really ready and excited for this new journey
