Greetings everyone! I too, am new having made my first post yesterday. I find comfort in reading your posts and that others share such similar feelings to those that I have experienced this year. Every day, I went through a roller coaster of emotions. I am 12 weeks post op and am down 60 pounds, 2/3 of the way to my goal. I did this to regain my health. I never allowed myself to get wrapped up in size & style but rather feeling good. However, the benefit of smaller sizes feels pretty darn good. It is a rush when you have to go down a jeans size ... Or even be comfortable wearing jeans! It gives me that push to keep it up. Thank you to all of you for sharing your very personal stories. I understand first hand, as all of you, that this is a lifelong journey and that when one thing changes, you have to rethink everything. I am so happy with my decision to move forward with surgery. I never feel deprived and know that I am in control! I wish all of you the best and applaud you for sharing and being so willing to help each other through this! You are amazing!

      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.
