Now that you are 4 weeks out, do you feel normal? Do you have any regrets of your different eating habits?

Tomorrow is my first week. Everyday is getting better, but it saddens me, when I cannot drink Water as I used to, I hope that with time this changes.

I still get sad at times and I even cry because I miss that feeling food used to give me. At 4 weeks I think I am still fairly new and getting used to it and I am learning to find other things to make me feel good instead of eating.

I am a total chugger when it come to Water and I find that I can actually drink bigger sips now then I did a couple weeks ago!

When I look in the mirror I don't see the weight. Loss but I do feel it in my clothes!

My before weight was 230 and I am at 194! I'm 5'4

My shoulders and face are definitely noticeable or at least that's what people are telling me :)

      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.
