Hey everybody my name is Jazz im from the Dallas area I'm kinda new to this blogging stuff so please bare with me!

I was very skeptical about getting on here talking about my experience so far, but from reading most of you'll post and looking

@ YouTube at so many stories It gives me some kind of hope and makes me want to share this lifelong journey that I have chosen to take

on, ok so let's see where to start... As of Jan 24 2012 when I first started contacted different surgeons in my area

My stats were

Age: 27.

Weight: 344

Height5"6

Started my Pre Op Diet on March 25 ( which my Dr. Only advised a one week clear liquid diet so on Wednesday the actual day

Of surgery I weighed before I went in that early morning and I weighed 333 (yay 11lbs down just from Proteins shakes and broth)

Okay so today I weighed myself just to see is there a difference and now I'm at 324!!! I'm think I'm starting to like this already!!

I see a lot of members posting about stalls I'm only assuming that's when u go without losing any weight over a period of time? Well

If so let me know , I'm now just now learning to try to cope with just watered down oatmeal, protein drinks (isopure and nectar) not a

fan of grits so I want even bother with those but crystal light is very tasty now to me for some reason before having WLS I may have

never drank any of that, burned out on broth already but hey I'm working on a better me for me and my kids(4) so I have to stick with it

Well good luck to everyone that's has done it and everyone thinking about doing it...YOU CAN DO 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.
