Thanks everyone! No real tips I just try to stay away from sweets- including sweetened beverages like tea. I try to not snack and eat lean meats at meal time. Lately I've been super busy with my college courses. Between that and my kids I stay so busy that I don't even think about snacking through the day.

I feel SO GOOD about myself now! The only downfall is I'm spending more money than ever on myself. I have new clothes, jewelry, makeup, new haircut and color. Now I just need sone new shoes. Shopping is finally fun again!!

Wow girl you look great!!!! Awesome!!!!!

Don't judge my befores too harshly. At that time I had a newborn at home that was screaming 24/7 and not sleeping so my hair was never done and I was never dressed up.

I know in this pic I look pregnant but I was actually like 4 months post partem.

This is a size 18/20 taken at the start of my Pre Op diet:

      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.
