pre-op diet

Hi all! I had surgery 4/13/05 and have lost 95 pounds. I get so mad at myself because I know if I exercised I could have probably doubled that by now. How are the rest of you doing? Brenda

100. I hope to be down 103 by my anniversary next Tuesday. I'm still on a low carb thing, so I hope to be there... 3 more lbs!!! *crosses fingers*

I'm down about 109 pounds but I have been at that since OCTOBER! I think if I hadn't started drinking alcohol, I would weigh much less. However, I am 5'9" and am in a size 8. I don't want to be any smaller. Just thinking about PS now. Judy

I had my surgery 4/26/05, ive lost 106 and would like to lose another 20 and I would be thrilled. PS is on my mind......soon I hope...Congrats to you all !!!!!! julie

my 1 yr was up on the 5th of April and I'm down about 140 lbs... I was hoping for it to be more, I only lost 2 lbs last month, 7 the month before that, 5 before that... I'm beginning to get discouraged. I go to my surgeon tomorrow, so hopefully that'll make me feel better. i'm just really down about it and it seems like no matter how little, how much, how much I exersize, etc I cant seem to lose anything more. I'm not even losing inches.... could this be it for me?? I'm still wayyy heavy and would like to lose soo much more. any words of advice??

My 1 yr is 4/28/06,and i have losted 116lbs I would like to lose about 20 more lbs. but if I don't i'm very pleased with my weight 182lbs and 5'10.

Hi all, My surgery date was April 5,2005. I have lost a total of 125 lbs since surgery and 148lbs total. I am now 220 lbs. I knew I would never be thin but really wanted to be 180-190 by now. I feel we struggle everyday still. I can eat about everything and watch calories daily. If I eat a carb it is like weight comes on instantly. I will be having hernia repair and T/T surgery at the end of May. Please look back to where you came from and continue to work for your goal. It gets harder the farther we are out. If I had it to do over I would change a few things. I now realize it is so important to eat only 3 meals aday. These snacks in between are a killer and lead to grazing. Anything that is not planned is grazing. I plan every night what I am going to eat the next day. Of course I slip from time to time but I try my best and refuse to beat myself up. I have done enough of that in the past for a lifetime. Take care all and never give up this fight from Obesity!!! See you lighter. Joanne Hammond Obesity Help Chapter Leader

My surgery date was 04/11/05. My starting weight was 282 lbs. I now weigh 127-130. I have lost a total of 155lbs...give or take a few pounds, depending on the time of day I weigh in.

I have 11 days until surgery. I am now on the 2 week liquid diet. At times it doesnt bother me at all, but at other times I am really hungry. Any advice for me?
