Slim -

Another idea that I'm trying that I can suggest. Consider creating a video blog of your journey. Post it on Youtube and make it either public or private. Even if nobody else watches it you will always be able to go back and retrace the journey and maybe the little added focus on the journey itself will have keep you committed to the things you need to do to make the most of the surgery and the new lease on life.

If you want to see the videos I started you can see them at: http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCBOYp0ZuHJHLoKhsJV3LLA/videos

Thanks GS. I will. How are you feeling? Care to share your stats?

I'm 41, started at 264. I'm 254 now, gained a pound! I'm 5,7. I'd like to be 160. :-)

I'm 38, 5'9. I started at 310, currently at 292 and hoping to get down to 180.

I've been feeling pretty good on the pre-op diet. The first few days were a little tough but then I was ok. I'm feeing better, sleeping better, and feeling less back pain. Today and yesterday were a little bit of a struggle -'I've been feeling kinda hungry and having to fight it off sucks.

I'm getting more and more excited for the surgery on Tuesday but at the same time wishing I was past it. I also with I never would have had to get to this point but that's understandable I guess.

How you feeling?

      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.
