When I went in for my labs they discovered I was diabetic, but just barely as in my numbers were just over the benchmark, but im taking medicine now and ive lost 15 lbs already by not eating sugar and low carbs! Im having labs done again in two weeks to see if I can still have my surgery in March.

My diet isn't nearly as strict as I'm seeing on here. It's a 2 week diet. I was a couple days late starting due to finances. But I'm supposed to do 2 Protein Shakes and a dinner with the whole 4oz Protein, etc. I have cheated a couple times but it was eating extra protein. I'm down about 5 lbs in the past 3 days. I have switched it up and I have actually been eating the "meal" at lunch time instead of dinner. That fits my hunger pattern better.

Mine is the same as yours, by the time I get home I am starved sometimes but I have been managing it ok.

I am March 4th - cant wait!!!!

We are the same day :). This is my 10th day into the pre-op diet (for me, four shakes + unlimited nonstarchy veggies) and I was down 10 lbs this am. The diet is hard - especially since I still have to prepare meals for my kids and family - but seeing those numbers drop on the scale already sure is motivating. My efforts at dieting have never been this successful before!

I have until May. I tried the Bariatric Fusion Protein shack and they are quite good. I have my first nutrition class tomorrow. I have a little over 200 lbs to loose. I have tried everything else I just hope it will help. I wish everyone the very best health and here is to our new start.

Thanks I know I have a full morning planned at the dr. Next Thursday just had no clue to what would happen. It kinda makes me nervous something would cause it to be postponed. I'm ready for my day to speed along.

Just received my BCBS approval and my date is MARCH 21st, 2013!!! I'm nervous about the surgery and pain, but just trying to expect the worst and hope for the best!! Right now I am cutting out my Diet Coke and weaning myself off drinking while eating. I meet with the Bariatric nurse next week to discuss the specifics.

Soooooo excited!!!!!!!

      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.
