Oh man, the time has finally come! I'm heading to the hospital in seven hours..and should be sleeved in 12...

Good luck to everyone else tomorrow!

Any ideas on how many lbs I should be losing weekly? And....do you think it would be possible for me to get to goal by summer? I'm 217 now...would love to be around 120...yeesh that's a lot of weight...

Best of luck today I had my surgery on Tuesday and let's just say the past few days have been pretty rough. I am off to a whole new me so every pain is worth it. Talk to you once you make it through.

Your weight history and weight today for surgery 217 same as mine. I had surgery on Jan 6th and am down to 207. That's 10 pounds in 2 weeks exactly. We are lightweights and may lose a little slower than some. Compare yourself to no one. This is a marathon not a race - your body will dictate weight loss and changes.

Follow your Dr's orders and diet and you will succeed! Sending my best wishes and prayers your way this week. Have a wonderful journey, save surgery, healthy and uneventful recovery!

Hugs

Kim

      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.
