Thank you very much. Remember everyone is different. And in your case it might be even easier for you than it was for me.

I was never hungry it was more the fact that I saw my entire family eating all this foods, that I couldn't. I got so depressed. I wasn't mentally prepared, and on top of that I have depression.... So that didn't make it any easier. As time pass by I felt better and better. And I was mentally prepared. And I knew that I made the right choice. I saw the difference in me, my personality how I carried myself. I feel amazing.

Thanks for that, can't have been easy on so many levels, but from your pic you look great so it was obviously worth it. Again well done and you, and others on this forum, give me strength for what I must do, can't wait for my 130 but I can see that that is the light at the end of a dark tunnel :-)

      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.
