Yayyyyyy Great job Don! I'm actually all excited for this weekend because someone is handing down clothes to me. What a big help it will be. So glad you could use the clothes and if he cleans more of his closet I'll keep you in mind!

I could be wrong here but does it not feel great to be a XL. My self I went from a 3x to a XL went from a 48 pants to 40 right now and their getting baggy but not ready for 38 just yet.

Great job so far keep it going

not much Protein Shake in the morning then a reduced fat cheese stick for a snack sometimes a 1/2 cup of chili for lunch (my fav) for dinner i put 4oz of food on my plate usually a little meat but never finish it i eat hard boiled eggs also sometimes for Breakfast im not hungry so eating is hard for me only getting probably 300-400 calories a day normally im so afraid of stretching my pouch and can not do pork or tortilla pita pockets i tried that with some sandwich meat didn't work.. I was told the first year not to worry about calorie intake so im not i take my Vitamins daily i will say i look at labels all the time and make sure what i eat is low in fat and has Protein in it ..

      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.
