Hello yes it's me strange huh! I started this diet require by my surgeon 28 days 2 shakes owe day 2 Snacks & tiny meat if any kind & 1 cup veggies Antoine except corn.

I did it the first week lost 10 pounds. I'm weighting my self every Friday but I was so curious to know if I lost anything before official weight on Friday. Holly s* I gain weight!! I wanted to throw the scale out the window. I have a bad temper but I have patients with my kids strange huh!

If you don't see me around for a while don't worry I'm fine. I have to work really hard. I see my surgeon 5/23/2012 to make sure everything is good before 5/30/2012 which is surgery day.

I'm sad & I love this site & I don't wanna be mean & respond in a nasty way so until I don't lose weight again I'm not coming back for a while.

Ten pounds in one week, that's amazing! Really unbelievable! Keep up the good work and don't get discouraged.

I was reading your post on the diet youre on and i have a little advice:

You might want to try a different Protein shake other thank Slimfast. They are really high in carbs. My surgeon was not happy wih me when I told him I was using them the first two days of my liquid diet.

If you're buying them at grocery store or Walmart or something you're better off buying Atkins (my mom tells me they taste good) or even EASadvantage. Theyre cheap and they have really low carbs and pretty good Protein. They're not very filling though.

Also, try to stay with green veggies, they usually have less carbs.

Your right! I'm glad you responded to me. I'm feeling back to normal. I'm going to try the Atkins I bought some for the liquid diet after surgery but I'm not hard headed & I listen to advice so I'm going to try Atkins. It's 190 calories compare to slim fast but it's Kirkland from costco version 290 calories. I still have a case left. What should I do with the case that's left?

i'm really new-but in all the posts i see where you have commented, they are such inspiring, honest and helpful comments. let us inspire and encourage you back. don't lose hope, don't run from yourself or get angry with yourself/body. sometimes you just need to tweak things to get a jump start. we are not made perfect, and who wants perfect anyways?

i have an idea: take a little break from the stress of scale watching and focus on your heart and mind-then after a pre-set amount of days, pump yourself up for a "day at a time" goal. message me if you need to talk-i'm a good listener! :] YOU GOT THIS!!!!!

Thank you :) I'm going to lay off the scale for this week. I'll check next week & that's it. If the scale moves up & not down. I'm going to forget the scale. Exercise & continue my diet & just wait fur surgery. I gain what I lost 8lbs so if I was to go over 211lbs where I started then I would really be running in the park Lolz.. Don't want to be deny for surgery once I made it this far.

I'm glad you looking at a different shake. Slimfast just doesn't have enough Protein to tide you over. You body prolly thinks it's starving. Plus, remember the 2nd week is always harder

      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.
