Hey all, this has been a very long journey for me. I completed all of my classes successfully, went in for surgery in November and the day of the surgery it was cancelled. WHY? Lol, another story for another day. Either way u did not give up and a rebegan my commitment this February. On May 9th I went under and I am four days post opt. Excited is not the word. I never cared about my size because I feel big is beautiful....I have always been gorgeous. In fact I have a tattoo that says ms. Big and beautiful. However there is nothing sexy about unhealthy and with my weight climbing, the complications were crazy. I've been obese my entire life..I wore a womans 14 when I was ten. A womans 22 at 18 and ive been a 28/30/32 since I was 20. Im 30 years old now and my weight when I began this journey was 398 on the day of my operation I was 364. Of course by looks I never felt I weighed as much as I do, but I am working towards day five of a healthier specialer me....:-)

What stage are you. I experimented with all types of foods in liquid and puree stages prior to surgery, I may can make some suggestions....

      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.
