Thank you all for the warm welcome.sorry it's took me a while to respond but I'm still gettingbuse to how to use this ap. I thought I'd have been wanting to pig out but I haven't and haven't lol. I get asked all sorts of questions on how much I can eat etc. I keep telling them it don't stop me from pigging out it's just an aid to help me lose weight. My journey started a few years back when I weighed 20 stone, I split with my bf and lost 2 stone then I joined weight watchers and lost another 4 but got stuck at 14 stone. Then last yr I ended an abusive relationship, my ex then wanted to hurt me so burnt my stables down.I'd already put a stone on whilst with him then another one crept on then I just got into a rut n ate what ever I want. 3 stone went bk on, all my hard work gone. I had some money so early December I decided to look into the gastric band. I then booked my op for the 17th Jan. Nearly 3 weeks in and 1half stone off.my head is back in the right place and I'm feeling great.it's a new yr a new start and watch this space cos there's a new me on its way x

      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.
