Seen the nutritionalist today and my weight went up 6lbs which takes me up to a BMI of 55 :( I need to lose 2-3lbs a week until surgery. I was told if my BMI is 50 or higher pre surgery then I will be on a 3 week pre op diet( 2 shakes and a sensible meal) and the post op diet is 4 weeks(1wk liquid 2wks mush and 1wk introducing solids) :) I asked how likely it is to get my surgery Sept 19 and was told that's a great date to shoot for! I'm very excited to start my journey and just wish it was September already! I need to work on eating slower and smaller bites still and I went and tried to get a food scale but they don't carry them so I will try a different place tomorrow! I already bought my gas x :) I am trying different Protein drinks now so I know what I like when it time to only being able to drink the Protein Drinks.

How is everyone else doing today?!

Thank you! I know it's going to be a huge life change but I am so ready! Tired of being fat an not able to move without pain! I went and bought some Atkins meals, the steam veggie packs for the microwave, Pure Protein frosty chocolate, and a food scale! I had a Naked chocolate banana juice for Breakfast and had pizza at Peter Piper pizza for summer days so dinner will be another shake or juice! I want to see how well I can stick to this meal plan!

I am trying really hard not to "sneak" a taquito I made for the kids! I bought Water and I'm waiting for it to get cold so I can make my shake! I am going to try the pre op diet and add fruits and veggies because the nutritionalist said I need to do a 2k diet right now so my body doesn't go into starvation mode

Me too... not looking forward to the no food. But, looking forward to the changes I am sure to both see and feel.

      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.
