I want to say this site has been very helpful! I haven't felt so alone in this process. Please keep posting because you never know who needs to hear what you have to say. I was just approved and pre-op diet starts July 28th. I am so excited! I lost 100 lbs. by myself but I can't get passed that point. I felt this will be the tool to help me get to where I need to be. Thanks again for posting because it has been a great source of encouragement.

CMK, I totally understand! I want to be able to run a mile without stopping. I guess that sounds weird but it's just something I want for me:) Only have one teenager left at home and I can't wait to make the most out of it. No more mom is too tired or mom doesn't feel like it!

I want to try and work up to running, not sure how that will go! I have an 8 and soon to be 10yr olds. They have never said anything about my weight and I'm sure they never would but I don't want to embarrass them when they have school functions.

      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.
