That is such an awesome accomplishment! I can't wait until I get to weigh on one of those medical scales again. All my docs so far have digital. I used to not be able to stand that moment when you get on the scale and you can tell that they are guessing where to start where it's not so low that it's silly, but not so high that it's offensive. I had a male nurse (and a good looking one at that!) weigh me in at my ENT doc before I had surgery. He started at 150 (!) and kept going up and up. When he stopped at 270, I could tell he was shocked. He said I don't know where you're hiding it and I said I carry bricks in my pockets. Seriously, I wanted to run and hide. I hate weighing in on those scales!

      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.
