Hi all- I'm new here, been on a weightloss/gain journey my entire life, and ready for this to be life changing and long term.

I've had major ups and downs with weight, in '08 I went to a weightloss dr in town and went from 206 to 136 in 5 months with exercise, strict food diet (from the dr), and serious determination. 3 years later I've gained it all back and weigh more then I started. Today I weigh 218. I'm waiting for insurance and have cleared all the other hoops. I'm excited to join you all here for long term better health!

The current picture is me in the KSU purple hoodie. At my lowest weight I was a Jazzercise instructor, until the weight came back on and I developed PF in both feet...

      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.
