Yep & it's going well. Today was Day 4 & I've lost a few pounds. I'm supposed to lose 5% of starting weight. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. How about you?

Today was day 3 for me. Going ok, it is hard though...it's amazing the foods you crave just because you know you can't eat them- my mind is my worst enemy! I haven't weighed myself though- tomorrow I go for my last appt before surgery and for my pre-op testing at hospital. I'll find out then if I lost anything.

I'm on Optifast 800 so I'm eating every 3 hours & getting in more than the required 64oz of Water, too. I have 3 shakes & 2 bars a day & that seems to be just the right amount. Well, at least until I see other food. food on commercials, take-out Chinese the characters are eating on my TV shows, the chicken minis one of our vendors brought in for us at the office today... Luckily I have a short attention span so I'm able to shift my thoughts elsewhere fairly easily. ADD ain't so bad after all. 8-)

My pre-op apps aren't until the 12th. Good luck tomorrow!

      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.
