I am on this site EVERY single day now. It is my new addiction. I haven't even had the surgery yet, but everyone on here is so inspirational. I love reading all of the stories and posts. I learn a lot from each and every one of you. I especially love reading the NSV stories!! Thank you all!

This is a great site. I had my surgery almost 4 months ago and I still learn things every day. There is a lot of experience on these boards and it is nice because it helps in motivation and education. I love reading everyone's blogs and seeing how their journey is similar or different than mine.

No laughing from...when I was new here I asked the same questions:) NON scale VICTORY.

I don't know what I'd do without it! But I have a question: what's NSV? Don't laugh at me!

      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.
