You are I are alot alike. I started my journey at 264 lbs and I'm currently 158. I wear mostly size 8 and some 6's. I'm still trying to lose 8 more pounds. That would be my personal victory. I've plateau and I go up 3 lbs then back down. I feel fabulous but I want to make it to my personal goal. Great job!

Congrats Jasleeve! I recently read through your whole complications thread. The great part about reading about it this late in the game is that I didn't have to wait to find out the outcome. I'm glad things worked out well for you in the end, even if it was a terribly rocky road at the beginning. I'm to the point that I'm willing to risk a couple months of pure hell to get this weight off. Thanks for sharing your story!

      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.
