I think you all should be extremely proud of such SUBSTANTIAL weight loss in less than two months. I know it's hard to be stuck in bodies we don't want, but you all are making progress. Any movement in the right direction is a major victory, given that most of us have been gaining weight the majority of our lives. Celebrate the change.

Focus all of your energy on following the protocol, weigh yourself no more than once a week (less often if you can stand it), and let the weight take care of itself. It's all about lifestyle changes and that's what this plan focuses your attention on. Sometimes you'll lose quickly. Sometimes more slowly. And sometimes not at all. It's all part of the process and practically everyone experiences all of them. Absolutely Celebrate every pound you lose (you're doing GREAT) but also celebrate every DAY you follow the protocol - that spells long term success and lifestyle changes. Staying active is critically important in terms of speeding up your weight loss (and countless other benefits). Walk at least four times a week (more if possible). Outdoors or on a treadmill, your body doesn't know the difference. You're gonna love the new you!!

      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.
