I don't mean to be rude by prying, just curious how much over your recommended bmi you were? I'm almost double the weight bmi charts say I should be so I thought mine would come fast but nothing like you're saying... so I just wondered. Seems every person is so different - any good tips or secrets to share? CONGRATS to you - that's really really cool and I'm so happy for you!

I started with a BMi of 44 and mine should be around 25. The biggest thing I've done is listen to my doctors guidelines. I eat no more then a cup of food and put Protein first. I exercise and I try no to stray off of my diet. I also do different exercise so my body doesn't get use to the same thing. I also cut most carbs and drink a lot of Water.

      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.
