Thanks everyone,

*Not much stretch marks

*A table spoon of Peanut Butter, you can eat it right from the spoon or add it to the Protein Shake.< /p>

*My oldest son helped me out with exercise at the gym and running up and down the football field 5 days a week. Was in pain, but all worth it.

*I refused to be Fat when I turned 40 years old. At my party I was 40 & Fabulous! Lol

*I'm a mother of 5 kids, I was determined to be health so I can be around to be there for them.

I did 32oz. of Protein Shakes twice a day. Drinking slowly throughout the day. It's a lot to drink at first also drink Water after drinking the shake. I still eat Peanut Butter every morning for added Protein. Trust me PROTEIN is very IMPORTANT when loosing weight fast. It turns the fat into muscle. Good luck to everyone that's in the process and PLEASE do your research on the doctor that your thinking about doing your surgery.

      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.
