That's AWESOME that you're losing wt now. The doctors like to see that because it gives them a sense that you're serious about wls. I could have had my surgery sooner, but I had gained wt over Christmas and New yrs. I went from 316 to 322. And that's when I told myself that its now or never and starting on Jan 3rd I went from 322 to 287 on the day of surgery 4/9/13 and today I'm at 256 with a goal of 235 by 7/10/13 at my 3mos post-op appt. Each time I challenge myself...it gets easier by the day, but some days I just can't get anything down so I pray and slowly my appetite starts to come back. You'll see when you're on the other side that each individual is unique in their own way with wls.

@Jessica anything and everything counts! I try not to over do it because exercising take a lot from us because we're consuming so little at a time. So its a learning process for me to take it easy both in exercising and eating lol. My eyes and mouth are way too big for my little tummy at times, but slowly we'll all get the hang of it.

I have been doing good. Progress has been pretty steady. Surgery was 3 months ago, I'm down 30 lbs since. 50 lbs total. I think the only struggle I have now is taking my Vitamins. I keep them on my desk at work and still forget to take them! LOL! I have the memory of an old lady!

How have you been doing???

      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.
