Ok, I had 2, count em 2 different men come up to me this week and tell me how good I am looking! I have had women come up to me before and mention my weight loss, but guys don't usually do it. The first one was a neighbor in the grocery store of all places and the 2nd one was my girls Dr. I had taken the girls to the dr's 4 times in the last 3 months and Dr Mike said he noticed back in January, but he has gotten into trouble before saying something about weight to a woman, so he doesn't usually. But now, he definitely can tell I have lost a lot of weight and wanted to compliment me on it.

I really needed that, been a bit depressed cause I was doing so well them bam, the scale quit moving. This is just what I needed to get myself motivated again. :biggrin1: Goodbye chips, hello treadmill!!!!!!

Looks to me like you need to recognize how outstandingly well your efforts are paying off!

      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.
