Way to go Tess! That's great! The scale hasn't moved much for me this week, but I know that sometimes it's like that, so I'm not discouraged by it!

I have not been banded yet, but was thinking that I should try to lose some before my pre-op diet. I have 3 weeks. I am sitting at just about 307, I can totally do that right? I'd like to get to about 295 before surgery. The more I lose before helps right?

I know...in just a few weeks, we should both be at the 50 pound mark. I can hardly believe it! While we still have a ways to go, I have so much confidence that we can do this! I mean seriously, who loses 45 pounds in 3 months....WE DO!:cursing:

You all are doing so great! I was glad to read a thread where there were other women that started the journey over 300 lbs like myself. I wish you great success. I also am from Mckinney by the way!

KelinTx, wow! There are so many of us in McKinney! Maybe we should start our own informal McKinney support group.

I just noticed your weight loss, and you are an inspiration! Way to go!

I didn't realize that there are other people out there that weighed more than 300 lbs..... my highest was 350+. that is my highest weight recorded because that is highest my scale went. I have gained a pound this week. I think that I need to start a exercise program..... yuk. I too will let every one know when I hit the 50 pound lost mark.... can't wait.

Everyone is doing great. Congratulations to everyone......

Bratz... One of the reasons I love this message board is because of the support, and how many others are in the same place with their weight loss journey, or that they were there at sometime!!! I would never think of posting my weight before, but I feel this is a place we can just put it out there and not be judged. You are certainly not alone being over 350 to start with.

I am here cheering you on, and you should really add some exercise to your plan, I have been going 3-4 times a week since last August and I feel so much better and full of energy. Keep me posted on your "first 50 goal"!

Good for you Tess! 50 pounds is excellent! I'm so proud of you! I'll give you 10 thumbs up :biggrin::thumbup::lol::thumbup::success1:.

I think I have 2 pounds to go to get to 50, then, I'll just have a couple more to be under the 300 mark. Can't wait!

I had to slow down my exercise b/c I injured my foot. I don't even have an exciting story...just tripped in my garage. But I'm itching to get back to it (that's a good sign).

Thanks Lucy!!!! I was so happy!!! I actually had a doctor's appt with the lap band surgeon ( so it's on the official scale! :crying: LOL) and he was very happy with my progress. He wants me to see him in another 4 weeks, and he said we would talk about another fill if I need it, but he said the way the scale is moving he wouldn't do one right now. I'm OK with that since I'll be going on vacation, and I don't want to away from home with a new fill just in case it's too tight.

Have you thought of a reward for our under 300 pounds accomplishment? I am thinking of a pedicure, or a massage. Only 14 more pounds to go till "two-ville"!!!!!:confused_smile:

Hope your foot feels better soon!!!!

I'm sure your doctor was pleased. You are doing awesome. I say if you don't need a fill yet, why get it! I've actually been wondering if my surgeon will give me a fill when I go for my fill appointment early July. Part of me feels like I need one b/c I don't feel a lot of restriction, but then when I see the scale moving steadily and at a healthy rate, I'm not sure if I need one yet. We'll see!

My foot is feeling better...I'm going to try pilates again tomorrow on it and that will be the true test.

I do need to think about my reward for hitting 299! One thing I've been doing is saving money every month so that when I'm ready to go clothes shopping I won't stress out about how much it's costing...I'll just enjoy it. So, maybe I'll put some extra money in that fund. But, I think I may have to go get a pedicure.

Keep up the good work and ENJOY YOUR VACATION!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
