Small world Don! How many other members do we have that want to meet?

I can say one thing...if we meet up we should bring the Protein, Vitamins or diet foods that we tried and didn't like to see if the others would like them. I hate throwing stuff out that is still date good. I have Isopure in grape and fruit punch, Protein Powder pouches unopened, B12 lozenges and a few other things I don't use. Heck I have Syntrax Twisted cherry and Fuzzy Navel I opened but, only took a couple scoops from because I tried one and gave some to my neighbor because I just can't drink it. I'm willing to share that too.

Savers, Salvation Army and Thrift stores are the best to buy from while losing. The day after Thanksgiving Walmart usually has jeans on special for about $10-16 bucks too.

      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.
