Looking good Bob --- keep up the good work.

Ange - do not encourage him -- you know that the only difference between men and boys is the price of their toys -- they may get older but they don't grow up and still find the pulling the finger gig hilarious at 60 .. :confused1:

Thanks for the kind messages. I went for my two week post visit today and am down 43 pounds. Shocked me. BP was 117/72, and I am not even on my hypertension drug any more! Staples and stitches came out without a problem and my wounds are healing nicely. On to the mushies! Was surprised that I was told to avoid fresh fruit for a while yet (which may explain why the watermelon went down like a toxic bomb), and no beef for three months. But I can have my finger pulled as often as needed! :confused1:

Bob, I just found your post about your 2 week pics...all I can say is WOW. What a difference. Isn't this fun? With results like that it makes all the effort worth while. Enjoy the losing feeling. How are you doing with your eating this 1st month?

Congrats Bob -- that's great ... and it's so strange that your doc said no fresh fruit when watermelon was on my list as a full liquid -- obviously every doctor has their own method to their madness I guess. I haven't tried any beef yet - unless ground - but I'd really love a few bites of filet mignon.

Great hopes make great man.url=http://www.niudubaba.cn/]FF11[/url]

What is this link you are posting because it's not coming through and you've posted it on at least 4 threads so far -- and they're the only posts you've posted - what is it and why do you feel it necessary to post it on all the threads? Curious.

      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.
