By the way' date=' how long did it take you? What are you doing to get there... exercise, food, etc[/quote']

My surgery was April 22 so almost 4 months out.

I walk my dog everyday between 30-60 minutes. And I do kickboxing and bootcamp each 2-3 times a week! I've always loved working out.

I've been eating between 1000-1200 calories since about one month out. Now I sometimes get up to 1500 a day, but I'm burning upwards of 800 calories some days so I'm okay with that!

I've been able to eat anything so far, though rice, soft bread, and heavy beef don't sit too well so I avoid them. But I eat a lot of yogurt, cheese, nuts, subs/pitas, fruit smoothies with soy Protein, and I give myself a treat once a day usually too (like a small bowl of chips or a mini ice cream sandwich). I'm very happy with my restriction!

Great to hear that. I've been doing 30 day shred every day and getting in walks as much as possible. I used to like to work out now I'm trying to get back that feeling. Eating high Protein, low carb as much as possible. Pounds are coming off slowly so I'm trying to stay positive.

      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.
