In our family, we talked about our turkey neck with our double chins. My mom had them even when she was only 70 pounds a few years ago. Gained back weight after we got her in assisted living and when she passed away in April. It is genetic for me!!! LOL!

I log EVERYTHING I eat into MFP and usually stay around 1,000 calories now (earlier in the process it was under 800) I try to get between 80-100 grams of Protein everyday, and I bought a fitbit and I try to walk between 13,000 and 15,000 a steps a day. I also drink between 8-12 glasses of water/liquid everyday. My daily Starbucks coffee is a nonfat, Decaf, sugar free (skinny) latte. Sometimes I have a second in the evening. Caffeine stimulates your fat storage metabolism, so I avoid it. And that's really all I do. I am not a gym rat or exercise fanatic or anything. I eat most things, just tiny amounts. And, I really don't eat many sweets yet.

      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.
