Hi all,

I began this journey in Jan of this year at 440lbs, I lost 45 on weight watchers for my 6 month Dr. supervised stuff and I have lost 55 since my surgery July 21st. I have bought and worn jeans for the first time in almost 20years! My hubby had this surgery a month after me and has lost 103lbs! We are parents to two lovelies from China and wanted to live long enough to see my girls grow up and walk them down the wedding isle. I feel very blessed that God has led me down this path, it's not a perfect one but I feel my weight loss is in my control for the first time since I was 5 years old. Just go for it....don't let anything stop you! Thanks for all the support through the months and God Bless you all. Tracy w.

Congratulations! I am happy for your success. Somehow - having little ones will certainly motivate you to want to see them grow up. I know the birth of grandchildren really helped crystalize my motivation to change my life.

Best of luck on your continued journey.

      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.
