Yes you look amazing Christina!! Can't wait till I'm there too! So my surgery is in a couple of days, Saturday 12/29. I did cheat a little on my two week liquid diet- my aunt makes the best stuffing ever, it was Christmas, what can I say? lol but for a good solid 9 days did perfect and am back on track now. Can't wait to get it over with! I'm a teacher, so I'm so excited to see the change in me by the time school gets out in June! I think it'll be my best summer ever!

Saw that Fred. I got to skip that part, but surgery is tomorrow! Yes, I'm anxious, but not worried like I was the past few weeks. Kinda excited now, but that'll probably change after surgery lol I've lost 14 pounds so far, and I did cheat a little. It was half the holiday temptations and half thinking I'll never eat like this again!

      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.
