Well...what I didn't say is that pre-surgery weight loss was from April 2013 to July 17th. :) definitely wasn't one of those folks who dropped it in two weeks!! It wasn't fast and I worked hard for it....gave up diet soda which i was almost positive was going to kill me!! Stay positive and keep your eye on the goal!

Any weight loss should be celebrated!!

My surgery was July 19. My starting weight was 260 and I am down to 236 in just a month. But the most important thing is I'm off all blood pressure meds' date=' diabetes meds and cholesterol meds. I feel really good.[/quote']

Great job!! Now those are successes!!

      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.
