Thanks everyone!!! I looked at my post and noticed swype was not my friend last night! LOL... I did not proofread before I sent it but I will with this one! So many typos. @carbgrl the funny thing is I actually started out doing Richard Simmons everyday with my belly bands on. I moved very exaggerated while doing it for a more intense workout. The weight seemed to be melting off. After I noticed a weight slow down I added climbing Stone Mountain to my regimen. That is a park where there is mountain climbing. This helped with leg and butt toning as well as good cardio. As far as food is concerned I was very strict in the beginning doing the liquid to purees and then gradually added foods as told. Carbs are not my friend so I ”try” to stay away from them. But I do a lot of seafood and veggies. Some fruit because of the sugar, but I do have some when I want it. I have tried most things but I admit they are not as appeasing as before surgery and I am so happy! @HopeThruFaith yes I have excess skin problems with my arms mostly. A little on my thighs but I think extreme training will help that. And of course my stomach but I think my 2 kids helped with that... Lol. I hope that I answered all questions. Thanks again for the support everyone!:-D

      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.
