Congratulations! And don't worry about the scale too much this early in the game. It doesn't always show a weight loss that soon. Besides, you should Celebrate regardless because you are on an awesome journey to better health now!!

Well I lost 13.6 pounds the first week so I celebrated with take out wonton Soup, sans wonton. It was delish! Last night I went to fashion show (it's Swim Miami here this weekend) and got excited about possible suits next season. Hard because everyone was drinking and eating and I was sipping Water. But tonight better, went for Pho and was so happy. How is everyone doing?

Thanks guys... it's been a pretty interesting journey so far. I live in Atlanta, Georgia. I havent been sleeved yet but I have been approved and my surgery date is on Sept 10th. Im pretty excited and nervous all at the same time. I am stoked to find a LGBT section to spend some time in. I've been in the mens forum and all they ever want to talk about is their weiners, which dont get me wrong I am okay with but honestly I think those guys are just baiting the horny women that lurk in the mens section (which I find a little passive agreesive/creepy) but to each their own. lol

      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.
