So it looks like I will be having surgery in February! I wanted to share my excitement in the amount of weight I've been able to loose in the last 4 weeks because it's the most I've been able to loose in a very long time. I weighed 280 almost 4 weeks ago and as of today I weigh 268. This is the smallest I've been in 18+ months. By surgery I need to weigh 257 and a small part of me is nerves I wont get to that weight because the 12 pounds I've already loss is the most I've been able to loss on a diet before.

Congratulations. You will be shocked on how fast the time goes between planning and approval and actually sitting in preop holding.

I had to do a 6 month supervised diet as a requirement, but wasnt given a minimum amount he wanted me to lose.

There is lots of support here on the site.

      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.
