My Start weight was 328 pounds and I am 5 foot four, I am from Canada and had a two week liquid diet prior to surgery, On the day of surgery May 30, 2013 I weighed in at 318 pounds. I have been losing approximately 1 pound a day, today i i am weigh 305 pounds!! I hope the weight continues to drop daily even weekly.

Dreamingofhealth did/ are you having surgery down here? Who is your surgeon ?

I'm having my surgery in Victoria with Dr. Malik. It sucks that I have to travel back and fourth so much, but I didn't have to wait that long.

What about you?

Wow that is quite the travel. I had My surgery in Richmond with Dr. Sampath on May 30, 2013 I waited one year for my referral to get to him and then six months later I had surgery. I have the understanding that Victoria had like years and years waitlist my friend was on it for seven years and my other friend has been on it 4 years already and just had Her surgery the same day as me in Richmond! so definitely a longer wait in Victoria than Richmond.

      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.
