Great job Shellebelle! Thanks for sharing, you're an inspiration! I'm hoping to say the same thing within the next year.

Tell me Shellebelle was it slow at the beginning? I am right at 90 days and just feeling something but I am not making good food choices. I guess I thought I would be able to eat what I wanted but just a smaller portion. I mean I am eating smaller portions but I probably just need to submit and eat more diet friendly food. UGH! frustration for me because I am a foody! I did this so I could "taste everything" but that's not working for me. :(

In the beginning you may feel a little discouraged because I did as well.. But after the months pass you will see a difference I promise. And even though you want a taste, it isn't worth it because it will make you want more. You still can get good things like those 100 calorie packs of brownies or whatever you like. Just stay away from things that hurt your stomach because in the long run it isn't worth it! :)

wow shellebell, congrats to you !way to go ! whats your secret ? what is your diet and exercise like ? im only 3 months out but down 25 lbs, i found a exercise i could stick with, ( a kick butt Water fitness class 3 x a week,) and making healthier food choices ( having frozen yogurt instead of ice cream , etc ) , and i have my 4th fill tommorrow, but i could still use your advice. The only thing i can reccommend to anybody is a book called " Pick it, kick it - Simple choices, huge results - by Diane Hart , Executive Editor of Oxygen magazine . Good luck everyone ! .

      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.
