Here is a little personal experience, take what is of use to you. My husband lost a lot of weight several years ago, 310lbs to 155lbs and everyone but him thought he went about 15 lbs to far because of how sickly he looked. He is 6'1" and went down to 155. He was a size 52 waist down to a 32. Over the years he has settled at around 170lbs and a size 34 waist, That is where he says he is most comfortable and where he looks the best. To me what made it look like he needed to gain weight was the fact that he lost too much upper body muscle, he just is not a muscular guy to begin with and the shock of him losing all the weight really highlighted the lack of upper body muscle. He couldnt really put on muscle cause he doesnt like to lift weights. I think he looks great now and I think you look great too but only you know how you feel.

Here we are together, He is 155lbs. Yeah, as you can see I gained all my weight back and then some from this diet but he has been one of the 5% that was able to keep it off over 6 years now!

This was last New Year's, He is 170lbs.

      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.
