Hello everyone. Just wanted to give a brief update. As of today, I am down a total of 28 pounds since I started but only 15 since my surgery three weeks ago. Unfortunately, I only on full liquid meals until my first fill on May 15th. Right now I am consuming 64 grams of Protein a day which might be much but my bariactric coordinator want me to get in at least 60 grams once i get my fill. Of that 16 grams is milk (fat free) and 48 grams is whey protein and I consume about 500 calories a day and walk for 45 minutes a day when I feel like it. My sterile strip glue is just now pilling off and there are no scars...yeah!.

But I just wanted to stop in and see hello and let you all know that i am doing well! Thank you for your thoughts and prayers.

      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.
