i've lost 43 lbs so far and i feel like i am doing great. well i know my closet is getting bare because i keep taking clothes out that are way to big. i could see it but really couldn't 'see' it. well today i had to go out and get the kiddos some jeans. and i stopped at a consignment thrift store. i only have shorts and 3 pairs of capris so needed something else before it gets really cold. i tried on size 14's. too big. so i went with 12's and they fit. too short because i have long legs but the rest of it fit lol. so went to goodwill since i couldn't find any other and found a pair of 12 jeans. they also fit. almost to big but thinkiing when i wash and dry them they will shrink some. wooohooo and whats even better is that they were 99 cents!!!! so now i realize i wasn't giving myself enough credit because i still see myself as 'fat' but i'm not all that fat anymore. so now i SEE it! :thumbdown:

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
