Thanks ya'll! To be honest I need to lose another 30 lbs to be at my ideal weight. Truth is I got pretty satisfied at current weight. In a size 8 jean, etc. However, my BMI is still "overweight". Soooooo....... I started the 5-day pouch test yesterday and got back on this forum. I'm afraid I got to the point that I ate anything I wanted and told myself I just couldn't eat as much. True, but began to creep up just a couple of pounds. So I have restarted and feel good about it.:)

My PCP told me that it is a misnomer that we can eat anything we want bc we are eating smaller portions. It was also proven by my A1C climbing again after eating small amounts of candy. So I know that I need to eat healthy in order to maintain my health and weight and that means, lean, low fat, lots of veggie way of eating. And this is for life. Yep! I have a life sentence on me. I do love my skinniness! ;)

      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.
