Give yourself a couple weeks and you wont recognize yourself in the mirror. ...Congrats

My fiancé took my two week ost op picks yesterday and I compared them to my pre op pics and your right it really is amazing the change that I saw. The weight loss for me I see in my face and neck as well as my legs, and rear end and hips. It's amazing what I couldn't see in the mirror I could see in the pics, now I know why they want you to take lots of them. It made me feel good.

July FIRST sleevers.... since we were sleeved on the same day, I'd like to know how many calories you are aiming it each day?

My NUT wouldn't give me a number to focus on. I NEED to have a daily personal goal!!!

I'm currently set at 700 on MFP, but I go over that almost every day! Please give me some guidance!

I too set my MFP goal to 700. Anytime I go over it i also get a lot more Protein 80-100 grams, so I think that's more important than the extra calories.

My Nut told me 800 calories. I am also on myfitnesspal as well. It does help keep you aware of what your putting in your body.

Somethings I could eat previously can't anymore tomatoes and certain types of fruit don't settle well.

My hate for fish has turned into a like for fish. Easiest to eat and less calories but still getting Protein in.

I'm almost 6 weeks out and I was wondering about weight lifting because I'd like to start toning. At what point did you guys add this to your workout? My doc said 8 weeks but I feel like I'm ready now.

      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.
