My doctor yesterday told me that we will only loose 60-80% of what we need to loose. I am worried. I am 7 weeks out. Although it sounds like you all are hitting your goals. How are you doing it?

I started at 223, went into surgery at 204lbs, and 11 months later hit my goal after losing 85lbs. I have now kept it off (easily) for 9 months......just had a breast lift last week so my body is in better shape now at 59 years old than I ever was in my 20's,30's or 40's!

It was an interesting journey, but not a hard one. Now, I feel like I am a normal weight person with no food issues. I kept a blog for my first year, some of you might find it helpful. www.queenofcrop.com Good luck to everyone!

      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.
