How tall are you? Where are you from? How old are you? How has the loose skins been for you? Thank you for taking the time to answer these questions

Well my 2 week pre op diet was 2 shakes and a low carb meal I usually just ate a salad or meat and veggies. The Protein Shakes I recommend are body fortress from Walmart. If u mix them with unsweetened almond or soy milk it's 30 g Protein per serving and they're only $15 for a 2 lb tub. My starting weight when I went to the doc for the first time was 267 this at the start of my 6 month supervised diet. I'm 5'3 1/2 lol from Orlando. As far as loose skin... Now that I'm losing faster I do see some problem areas. I do strength training with light weights, Zumba, Pilates and I have my own recipe for moisturizing and stretch marks. This one is up in the air tho I guess only time will tell how my skin reacts but I know I'm doing all I possibly can to help it.

      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.
