Hi Aunt May! I live on Long Island NY but lived in beautiful Escondido when I was in my 20's (1980's). I worked for the Times Advocate newspaper. Missed my family so I returned back East. My two teenage daughters tease me-whenever I chat to strangers they call it Escondido-ing (telling my life story!) anyway, when I saw your tag line it made my morning!

I was sleeved 10/11/12. It's been rough, Iknew that when I signed up for it. For me, my deteriorating health (Pre diabetes, sleep anea: both reversed already!!, back/feet problems, etc....) made me realize I had but one choice after regaining lost weight at least a dozen times in my lifetime only to find myself getting bigger and bigger again and it was really affecting my life! I've lost a total of 52 pounds since August when I started Pre-op diet. Since surgery, I've lost 29.5 pounds! I am thrilled! I am taking it slow adding new foods and am veering toward soft foods still. I'm working on slowing down too. I eat way too fast further limiting my intake. It's ok! Ive got my goals and I'm meeting them! food is taking less of a top priority in my life. Protein-yes, food-not so much! Where are you on the journey?

      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.
