I am in the same boat weight and height wise. I am also 5'5" and 250 lbs and size 20 jeans. Actually I was an 18 and they ripped So I threw them out and refuse to buy the next size up since my surgery is soon. Best of luck!

Start changing your eating habits and exercising. This helps you get in the habit before having surgery. You mentioned that you had your consult yesterday. Your doctor will probably send you a nutritionist who will advise how many you can consume at day, an exercise trainer who will develop and exercise program for you, and you may or may not have a bone density scan and sleep study. It depends on your doctor. Oh and a pschy eval.

      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?

      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.
