Surprisingly well! I've lost 35lbs since surgery (45 since preop diet). I've been cleared for all exercise and food. I try certain things here and there, but completely stay away from bread/rice/pasta. I get my Water and Protein in no problem, I usually eat all my Protein, with the occasional shake if I'm out and about. This is the best thing I've ever done for myself and my kids!

Hey, thank you so much for responding. I really appreciate it. It helps so much to stay connected. I've found the more I eat the Protein, it helps. I'm just exhausted. I want to get out to exercise and it's hard to motivate. I had the surgery two weeks and two days ago. :-)

      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.
