55lbs in 56 days Ugh Why is it soooo slow?

Exactly!!!

I'm definitely working on losing weight pre-op, which is exciting :)  I can't wait to kick it into high gear in 15 days.  (OMG, almost 2 weeks away!!)

I think Jenn said it last week but it stuck with me, and it's so true...After the surgery it's not a starvation diet, so it gets a little easier.  One thing that is very surprising that you hear the vets say over and over, is to eat your protein first, dense protein is VERY filling.  

Hehe... I'd like to lose 55 lb. in 56 days too! I don't think I'll lose QUITE that fast, but congrats to you, that's a really good pace you've got going on there!

Ya it's good, at this rate when I hit my 1 year surgeversary I'll weigh -15lbs, maybe then I can start shopping at Abercrombie & Fitch

My surgery is next week.  Seeing your post inspires me.  I have lost 25 lbs thus far.  Only hope I have the success you have found.  Thanks for sharing.

Yes thank you.  I have more to lose than you, so don't worry if yours goes a little slower.  You can do it, I think close to 100oz of water does just as much for my weight loss as anything else.  I'm walking 1 mile a day, drinking water, and staying at 500 cals and it's been working.  Best of luck

woohoo!  Awesome job!
