​First, congratulations on your up coming wedding!!!

Maybe go back to your diet book you were given and start from the beginning and exercise. Being nervous about the wedding could be it also. Take a deep breath and have a shake for at least one meal a day and remember to chew chew chew and make your meals last 20-30 minutes.

you are stronger than you think you are

you acknowledge making bad choices so make better ones

you lost a good bit of weight and congrats to you on that.

but it boils down to either you do it or you dont..eating better food in your allotted amounts....so just hang in there...and remember 3500 cals is a pound and if you eat more cals than you burn off, you wont lose and or gain....

Back to basics!! Measure and track everything! You can do it. Use your wedding as a motivation not a deterent.

I'm confused. Your dr doesn't want to fill you anymore, but why? Are you in the green zone already? Because everyone's different. If you're not in the green zone refusing to fill you makes no sense.

      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.
