I am pretty sure I am now in the green zone. It has been a long hard road. The Dr said I am right on target with my weight loss and that I'm doing great.

I spoke to my nutritionist for a while and explained to her how I can't get it trough to my head that I no longer eat like I use to. Half of a sandwich is enough and I don't have to finish what's on my plate.

I just can't seem to get use to this. I never dreamed it would be his way, but I'm happy and dealing with it well..

She said it is normal, almost everyone of her bariatric patients say the same thing. She just encouraged me to only put on my plate what my new stomach can hold, take a moment before you order food or make your plate and honestly think ( can I actually eat this ) .! Good luck to you, please keep me posted.!

      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.
