Coutney you look amazing! In just 7 months!! Wow!!! I bet you can't wait to go to the beach this summer all skinny and all that!  What is your goal weight and height? Or do you have a size as a goal? I kind of like that idea - some people have posted being a single didget size as goal. I don't know if I'll get that little-I'ld be happy size 10! (from 22-24!) Keep up the great work!

Thanks so much! The doctor said 137 would be my ideal weight, however I dont agree! I'm too big boned -150 is fine with me! So 27 lbs to go! I'm in a 14 and I would love to be in 12's by summer or 10's! Single digit scare me! It just doesn't seem real! Lol but I'm 5"6 now and I feel amazing! So either way -a little to loose! But doctor said up to 18 months VS patients still loose

I really don't eat alot because I don't have an apatite for anything. I am strictly going by the book, I eat cottage cheese for Breakfast and a Quest Protein bar for lunch, apples and reduced fat Peanut Butter for snack, then usually chicken for supper, I can only get a very little veggies or carbs in after the Protein. I drink Powerade Zero because plain Water makes me gag and any flavors just do not sit well with my sleeve.

      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.
