That is fantasic!!!! This is also my 4th week, I agree it is the best thing that I have ever done. I am already off of all my meds, high blood pressure and anti inflammitory. My pre-op weight 398 lbs, surgery weight 370 lbs, and weight yesterday 337 lbs. If anyone is reading this and you are thinking about doing this, it is so worth it. I sleep through the night. I used to get up 3 or 4 times a night. My knees feel better. Still amazed at how small of an amount of food fills me up. I never get hungry. I have to thank my Doctor from Austin TX Dr Fass. Had a little pain in the hospital but was off the pain meds after the second day at home.

      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.
