Is anyone awake? I really do not know how to user he site as proficiently from my iPhone but its easier to pick up than my computer. I'm just really feeling bad this morning. It is 3:15 am here. I went back to work yesterday and had a horrible day. I guess I was not expecting to be treated so poorly at work by my coworkers and boss. Like what I did was a waste of time and that I had somehow inconvenienced them in some way. Guess I was just reaching out to see if anyone else had experienced anything like that at work or if I'm just the only unlucky one with a toxic work environment.

I am sorry you had it so rough. Hang tight....it gets better, though it may not feel like it right now. You do this for you. I am almost 8 months out, and over 110 lbs lost. Those early days are so tough. You feel like crap, your energy level stinks....you want the weight to be gone..NOW!....but its a one step at a time, one day at a time process. And it will go. One day, you will wake up look in the mirror and not recognize yourself. Its all good. (Hug)

Remember it took years to gain & even if it takes months to slim it's still a process.

Does anyone know how much weight is the normal loss in the beginning?

They told me 50 in the first month

      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.
