I'm now 5 months out and I couldn't be happier. I've lost 82 lbs so far and though things have slowed way down, I am still losing and most importantly - NOT GAINING! It hasn't been an easy road, but I'm feeling better and better!

I think just listening to my body has been my biggest thing. It really tells me when to stop and tells me what I don't like/need. I've had some food issues along the way. I can't really eat chicken or salad. (Previously, two of my favorites!) Beef really works for me and so does fish. I'm still working on getting all my Protein in, but overall food is finally becoming easier for me to eat. I'm trying to take all my Vitamins (I'm probably about 85% on that) and getting my fluids in. Now, I need to work on stepping up my exercise.

      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.
