Well Ladies & Gents, I'm excited to say I am almost 5 weeks out and I've lost approx. 20% of my weight I've projected to lose!!! I have not needed to take anything for my Diabetes or high blood pressure since the day of surgery, my clothes are definitely looser, and I'm more grateful than these words can express! Life is good and I'd like to say thanks to all you for your input! This is a wonderful website which has inspired me through ya'll's experience, strength and hope! Thanks again, Sheryl:aureola:

It is wonderful to hear that you are doing so well and you are happy. I get anxious about the surgery and keep talking myself out of it.. then later I look at myself in the mirror or in photos and I talk myself back into it... I am a giant chicken lately. hehe It is nice to see so many people doing so well. :)

:001_rolleyes:Just wanted to add a side note to you. I've seen a couple of your postings about your fear. If everything has fallen into place for you, then I feel this will be your path too. Could some of the fear be some of that 'ol self sabatoge? I've always excelled in that area, but for once in my life I decided to follow fate and see where it takes me. So far so good. I just take things One day at a time. It makes life & goals so much more attainable!!! Join us on the losers bench!!!:blush:

      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.
