Umm, Wow, I mean Holy Crap! Shocking. ~ and that sounded bad. It's my first response and you are the first post I looked at at this website. I am in more shock is what I am trying to say... I am floored! Jaw on the ground. Do you realize how unbelievable your weight loss is? I am looking at the blinking cursor and getting fearful that I will have this process eventually. It's unnerving and surreal. I've been to classes for my program, nutritionalists, the APRN and exercise physiologist and psych eval And I am doing what they are requesting. I've been to groups with past GI surgery participants and heard their stories plugging away at the requirements however...

The impact of what you have done is incredible! IT HAS JUST HIT ME. Sorry I didn't mean to yell. You just made it real right at this moment. Your experience has been a teaching moment and I am the student who just got it.

Thanks for your post.

Alison,

I maybe reading your post the wrong way. However, there seem to be some high anxiety. I right now will support and help anyone here. Yes I've lost a lot of weight. Everyone loses at their own pace. I've stuck to a lot of what my doctors say. It can be a very scary process. Things are done in our lives when we are ready to have it happen. I will never say I regret it! And I'll take your shock as a compliment as well.

Much love

Kevin

      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.
