It was amazing to see that basically everyone, including celebrities are having trouble keeping the weight off. As much as I love Jennifer Hudson, I knew they provided her a personal chef, nutritionist and trainer for weight watchers. That is unfair, because we think we can follow the diet with a point system. Also, I don't watch shows like Biggest Loser, because who has six months to take off of work to lose weight? So wrong.

I like watching the biggest loser because I love seeing the transformations from the start of the season until the end...but your right it isn't very realistic at all. They exercise for hours every day and can only eat the food provided for them on the ranch. I'd love to have that large sum of money as incentive though! LOL

The celebrity weight loss ads that annoy me the most right now are the Janet Jackson ones. You really want me to believe that someone who has millions at her disposal is eating nasty freeze dried food in a box?! Not to mention we've seen Janet lose that same weight before using a chef and trainer. Gimme a break.

      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.
