Thanks Dorrie! I have to make myself drink but I'm doing better like stated in precious post! Now to get the protein! What kind of Proteins are y'all eating or drinking

I alternate between Isopure zero (40g Protein in 20oz bottle) and making the chocolate premiere Protein shake (16oz of skim milk & 1 scoop of Protein powder). You can get Isopure zero at Vitamin shoppe or GNC and premiere protein whey powder protein is at Walmart or Sam's club.

You said your friend is 4 months out and 79 lbs down...and used an exclamation point, so you must be thinking she is doing better than you. BUT, 79 lbs divided by 4 months is 19.75lbs/month average. You have lost 18 lbs in 2 weeks :)

Everybody's journey is their own. I think you are doing great! :)

i agree, your weight fluctuates. when you weigh yourself too often you'll go crazy.

      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.
