I have about 25, 26 pounds left until onederland and frankly, I am considering resuming my Protein heavy pre-op diet for ten days to get there. I lost 20 pounds on that previously (the first time) and it wasn't so bad, I didn't even follow it to absolute perfection.... How stupid is this?

I have a tattoo planned for when I get to that mark, its not weight loss related necessarily but its a tattoo I always wanted but always dangled in front of myself like a carrot. a few months back I decided that if I actually lost 100 pounds I would get it.

Grace, I HEAR YOU!!! We are about in the same places in our journeys at the same BMI even. I just went back to LCHF Atkins induction style. I'm tired of 3 or 4 pound months. I know they are going to happen occasionally but frankly EVERY month is slow for me and I have 40 pounds to Onderland! Sometimes I feel like shaking it up is the best way to go. Not only physically but mentally as well. My sister is getting married in January, and I know I won't be in Onderland by then, but I want to at least be knocking on the door! That's my carrot at the moment!

haha I am glad I am not alone. I have decided the route I am going is ONE calorie controlled meal per day and two Protein shakes... I use EAS soy because whey protein is very difficult for me to digest. It's very preop diety and I know its kinda silly but what the hell, I'm going to do it 5 days on, 2 days off (I work weekends, I am not doing that to myself at work) and so on, as long as I can tolerate it. Will report back lol....
