Oh my gosh, what a transformation! Love the picture showing off your hourglass figure....you look so much younger.....you gotta love that! (well, at my age I'd love it LOL)

We all lose at different rates, but would you share what your meals for a typical day would consist of and what you are doing for exercise? Thanks! This is so exciting to see as a pre-op, thank you fors haring!

Thank you. My meal plan is pretty simple. I have a shake or a Protein bar for Breakfast, I have a few bites of meat and veggies for lunch, Snacks consist of almonds, cheese, or fruit. dinner is whatever my family is eating. I avoid all bread (except a rare slice of pizza), I avoid all rice (except a rare treat of sushi) and I avoid potatoes. If I'm craving a candy bar I will take 2 bites of a snickers and give the rest away so I'm not tempted. I live in the South, in Mississippi and just north of New Orleans, good soul food and seafood is everywhere and I love a good tasting meal so I don't deny myself these luxuries. I just pay attention to my sleeve and stop eating at the first feeling of fullness. I work out 2-3 times a week. I started out doing Curves and then switched to an intense core workout that consist of lunges, squats, push-ups, and sit-ups. I use the Skinny wraps to tighten my skin (yes they are working for me). That's it. I live my life as usual. I eat what I want with the exception of carbs and I never slow down. Good luck to all of you on your journey.

      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.
