Hello sleever's

Amazingly I met a sleever at one of my stops as I was making a delivery . The clerk introduced us as she is aware of our surgery . As I was talking to the fella , he got his surgery 3 months before I did and had lost a total of 170 lbs . This is great ! But as I watched him purchase his lunch he bought a liter of diet coke , king size snicker bar , regular size payday and some ruffles . As I was thinking to myself , wow this guy is going back to his old habits and headed for failure . After he left , the clerk informed me that was his everyday purchase and shakes the soda till its flat before drinking it . I think that's sad , especially when my company delivers fresh deli sandwiches , fruits , vegetables and salads on a daily basis in plastic cups or containers . Anyways , why would someone go thru the procedure and time to lose the weight to just go back to his old ways and start gaining his weight back ? I felt bad for the guy and wanted give him some advise but he looked like he was in a rush . He still looked to be around or near 300 lbs . I guess experiencing what I saw that night just gave me more strength and has made me continue on the right path as I have been for the last year . I hope you sleever's take this surgery seriously and commit to it for the rest of your life . Remember ( it is only a tool)

      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.
