How are things goin for u so far??

I am doing great!

I am 8 weeks out and have lost 48 pounds. I get full very quick so I dont eat much at all. My clothes are getting really loose. I am so happy I did this. The only thing I am unhappy about is that I am already noticing saggy skin. I am about to join a gym to work on that as soon as we move November 1st.

I started at 310. No I didnt have a medical diet because I went to Mexico and paid cash. I did have a 2 week pre op diet which I totally blew. I did not lose 1 pound. I did have the dreaded 3rd week stall. I knew about it though so it wasnt that bad. I lost 32 pounds in 2 weeks then stalled for 3 or 4 then lost the remainder since then.

      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.
