Not much to report other than 10lb loss in two week. I went to see my PCP on Thursday and was pleasantly surprised at my loss. 10 lbs in 2 weeks is huge! I am so excited.

Pretty much eating whatever I want. I strictly limit my carb intake during the week, but on the weekends I make allowances for certain things. Still not really eating bread and rice, though i had a little brown rice yesterday. Didn't really miss it.

Exercise... I have been trying. I've gotten on my elliptical machine a few times in the past 2 weeks. not nearly as much as I should be doing, but i am working my way up. I go to my surgen in about a week and a half, hopefully i will have more weight loss to report!

Great job....exercise will probably be easier as more weight comes off. You may even WANT (imagine that) to exercise.

Keep up great work !!!! :svengo:

      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.
