I waited 6 weeks before I started sit ups. It didn't make me sick just a little sore at first but all that worked its way out in a couple of days. Of course I eased into my exercise since I hadn't done a lot since I quit playing football. The skin is a little loose but nothing out of the ordinary. It has tightened up since I started exercising. Hope it continues to improve. I am flattered about the comments. Hottie and cute has never been used as descriptive words when people are talking about me. I have always been the funny fat guy. I can get you laughing but have never been much to look at but I appreciate the kind words. This journey is about getting healthy so I might live into retirement age not about looking good that's just extra gravy! No pun intended! If I have some loose skin it won't bother me because i have been carrying around another grown person around my waist for years now so it can't be much worse than that right? The biggest accomplishments is I'm off my Metformin totally with diet controlled blood sugar and my sleep apnea is much improved. You can actually sleep in the same house with me now and not be up all nite from my snoring! I got another 107 lbs to lose so this is just the beginning of the journey but I am motivated because I know that this is working and I am finally seeing results. I use to be hungry all the time and even with strict diet and exercise with a trainer the scale would barely move. Now the scales move everyday or so. I recommend the Premier Protein shakes. They taste good and fill me up. I drink 3 of them a day and have about 2-3ozs of Protein based meal for supper i.e. chicken breast, tuna, fish, eggs, etc. this has worked for me so sticking with it! Good luck everyone on this marathon! I call it a marathon because I didn't put the weight on overnight and it is not going to come off overnight but it is has been the easiest diet to stick to and I have been dieting since I was a kid. I just hope that I can be a motivation to others like so many on this forum before me was a motivation to me! Good luck and God Bless!

      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.
