I found out about hydration an blood. For my 6 month labs they tested for EVERYTHING. They had to fill 16 tubes. I was in a hurry and didn't drink enough Water that evening or that morning. My vein are tiny to begin with and they could barely find a vein.

Glad you are feeling so well. I was one of the ones lucky enough to bounced back quickly from surgery. Glad you are too. You have a fantastic attitude and I am convinced that it makes all the difference.

Do keep in mind that stalls will happen. Don't sweat it when they do. It's just your body readjusting. You always lose inches even when the scale is not moving. Once your body is done moving things around, the weight will drop again. It's just something that has to happen.

Great things are coming your way.

      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.
