Welcome Thick2slim! Glad you found us, LOL. I am scheduled for the 27th of Dec. right after Christmas. I have also wondered how much I will lose and how quickly. It seems that there are all kinds of results depending on the amount of effort you put in. I plan to make the best of it. I've tried so many other diets and I am ready to get rid of this weight once and for all.

I'm scheduled for 12/5! So happy! They said to start my pre-op diet the day after thanksgiving. It needs to get here quick because I keep "treating" myself and I don't want to gain more weight to have to lose... Ugh.

I'm in Florida. The only Christmas food I really think will bother me is the actual Christmas dinner. Other than that, a 2 week liquid diet is what scares the heck out of me!

      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.
