I really don't understand hiding your weight loss? Sooner or later they will find out and it seems if they see you losing little by little will be better then all at once. How you going to explain that?

I know I'm not going through this to hide my new, better health.

My family they come around and so oh you cant have this... no i dont want that. lol. I lost weight on the pre-op diet because i was staying under a certain amount of cals a day. before i would go out i would look up nutritional value and make my meal choice based on that. if i went to burger king i would get whopper jr without mayo and value size onion rings. that meals is under 500. having the surgery isnt an easy way out. its more responsibility.

eating at burger king is what helped make me obese (high fat/fried)

fast foods should be used in very sparse moderation (even subway is a better option)

the bands helps us eat less but its really up to us to help the band by

eating good food. (lean Protein, veggies and fruits)

Great point that you cannot untell someone. I purposely only told close friends & family but my little ones told others for me :-). I received some negative feedback from in-laws about leaving them in the dark, which made me angry. Their need to tell me their fears / concerns / thoughts does not = my need to hear it.

Tell who you trust and who supports you and don't worry about the others. People judge - plain & simple, fat, thin, whatever!

Best of luck & keep your eye on the prize!! Your good health!!

I thought you lived in someplace FL?

I live in some place FL and have never had to wear 3 layers of clothes. Plus you said you got egg salad at Publix, Publix is only in southern states. Busted!!!!!

Tell me, how do you know what I'm doing at night???? For your information I ride a motorcycle in the middle of winter and still do not dress like you describe. From your very first post you have been unbelievable and I have been following you. First you changed your name, but that back fired. Then you continue to change your story.

I don't care if you're on here to have fun, but having newbies take in your garbage is where I draw the line.

So change your name again and start a new story. I'm done!!!

PS I'm not the only one who has figured you out.

      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.
