I personally like the May 27-31st Sleevers. Kind of makes it easy to find our thread.

Wow everyone's making really good progress! Even with the "stalls" some (like me) were experiencing this is still a lot faster than I could have ever lost on my own willpower. Congrats to everyone!

So far, for those who posted on yesterday's weigh in, as a group of 12 ppl...

We lost 92 lbs combined pre surgery.

We lost 336 lbs combined since surgery!

The average loss per person 28 lbs.

The median loss is 27lbs.

The most lost by one person is 46 lbs.

Impressive! Keep making the hard choices to stick to plan and keep telling your stories!

I'm enjoying a variety of Proteins, different meats with low fat cheese and a dipping sauce or dressing that is also low-fat. I've gotten good at not eating too much at once and really paying attention to the gurgles, and need to be done eating before gurgles progress to hiccups and belching. Such an adventure!

I'm seeing my doctor tomorrow and am down 21 pounds in 33 days so he should be pleased. I still start my day with a Protein shake and really load it up with Atkins shake, almond milk, a scoop of powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Protein powder and a dash of a sugar free Torani Syrup. Current favorite is chocolate with hazelnut syrup blended with ice - like a yummy milkshake and about 46 grams of protein!

I'm avoiding all carbs and not really hard since I don't eat much so after Protein I don't have any room in frankenbelly for anything else.

It's nice to share the journey with you all - look how much we've all lost so far! Amazing!

Krystal I love the Jimmy Dean idea. I wonder if I can do the Breakfast sandwiches if I remove half the bread. I miss those.

I haven't had a Breakfast bowl in ages- aren't the full of carbs or are these the light ones? I usually just do an "espresso protein" shake and consider that my breakfast- 30 G Protein but food would be nice

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
