Pre-doctor supervised diet:338 Pre-surgery weight: 288 Today (almost 8 months out): 206.6 Total lost: 131.6

Yes, I feel hungry quite often. I felt it at the hospital after surgery! But I try to drink water first cuz sometimes my brain mistakes thirst for hunger.

I just make my shakes with Water. And ice. Sometimes sugar free torani syrups & sf creamer. The Click definitely has to have creamer!!

You look like a rock star! Bet you feel like it too!

Does anyone else keep getting notifications on this thread but when u check, nothing is added??? I'm going to have to unsubscribe if it doesn't stop. Grrr.

I had approval in 24 hours. You could easily have surgery in less than 3 months. :-)

Thanks!! Do you know when you get to have surgery?

Welcome new KY friend! Yes, Dr. Weiss is really pretty to look at. How's everyone else doing? My highest weight was: 356 At beginning of 6 month pre-surgery diet: 338 DOS (5-18-12): 288 Current weight: 216 Total gone forever: 140 pounds

Just wanted to update y'all. I tried Garnier Fight Fall. It didn't work. My hair stylist said hair loss from weight loss requires nutrients put back in at scalp. I started using this Clear Therapy shampoo & conditioner from Walmart. Less than 2 weeks & less is coming out (WAY less!) and I see new growth. :-) PS. I'm only 5 months out.

I found this recipe this morning & HAD to share! http://dashingdish.com/recipe/protein-packed-superman-ice-cream/

What I know about the liver, is this, absolutely NO sugar or carbs at all. My doctor said to do the liquid but if I was hungry to eat meat, eggs or cheese. This will still shrink the liver Pre-surgery. If you have to cheat, eat meat. Lol.

The small one. It says 1 oz.

Just a standard chobani or yoplait Greek. I think you would want maybe sugar free vanilla or something similar to get the consistency right. Let me know if you come up with a low carb crust. I almost always ate the filling & left the crust. Lol.

I was too!! So I came up with a little concoction to satisfy my craving! pumpkin pie pudding: 1 container of yoplait vanilla Greek Yogurt 1/4 cup of Pumpkin (not pie filling) A little Splenda to taste a dash of pumpkin pie spice 1/2 a package of sugar free Cheesecake Jello. Top with a dollop of light whipped cream. Calories: 133 Fat: .25 Sodium: 213 Carbs: 18 Protein: 14

What did you end up doing for headphones, OTR? I'm looking for some too that will stream music & allow me to talk on them. People always want to call when I'm at the gym. :-/

Good luck today! It's the beginning of your new life. Happy birthday!

I take plain chobani & add sugar free jello cheesecake. 1/2 a package. It thickens up & tastes just like cheesecake. Gives me 16 protein. :-)

KristieAtkinson I log in every day & use MFP a LOT. My diary is public as well.

Bwahahahaha! Saw this & had to share.

I know a lot of people don't have this problem. But I did. The first thing I heard when I woke up from surgery was my stomach "growling". It scared me to death! I kept thinking I'm not supposed to be hungry!! But I try to ignore it until its time to eat. I eat 3 very small meals filled with protein. I will eat 1-2 snacks. Try to stick to protein or veggies for snacks. If I growl in between food time I drink water to fill me up. The body often times mistakes thirst for hunger. Tell him to stick with it. We all want people to notice. Pretty soon every single encounter will have someone saying how awesome he looks.

I have lost 116 pounds. I went from a C to a B very quickly (50 pounds in). Now I'm at like a B- :-/ May end up in an A. I'm 36 so I'll probably need them lifted & get implants. But my first plan is for a panelectomy. That's going to have to be first for me.

Wow!! You look amazing. Seriously. Amazing.
