What are your meals going to look like? I'm curious to know how and what people eat. I find I have a problem snacking like all day. I am trying to break myself of that habit but have no clue how.

Well for today and the next 4 days I will only be able to have 3 Protein shakes and as much Water and sugar free gum. I'm starving and I know it's not easy but I'm motivated to have this happen!

After these first 5 days ill be able to eat diner but still be on 2 shakes daily with Snacks like sugar free Jello or Popsicles.

Me. I was planning on having my surgery in 2010/11 but ended up pregnant. My son is now 1 and I lost my mom the day before I had him, I went to my pre op appts and such but couldn't seem to get away from food! I'm Latina so my ppl were always bringing tamales and enchiladas and all these other AWSOME dishes in time of me mourning over my mom. It's been a hard year but I'm determined to get this weight off. I weigh more than what I did when I was 9 months prego!!!

I'm still cooking for 5 kids my husband and father so it's going to be hard but I think I can do it!

Why are you doing the pre op diet so early?

I just had a baby not that long ago too!! He is 10 1/2 months. I was in the process of losing weight before I had him. I had lost 40 lbs in the course of a few months. Then I found that and about 50 more being pregnant lol. I got sick with severe pre-e.

I just love food. I binge eat when I eat, instead of 1 cookie I'll eat 3 or more. Instead of one serving of chips, I'll eat the whole bag. I try to take it one day at a time, and take my mistakes with a grain of salt. I'm getting more active.

I'm currently around 277. This is the second highest weight for me. I was over 300 while pregnant, got back down to 235 and it's been increasing ever since.

I've done pretty good today

had some ravioli in a can with cheese, 2 hot dogs and a pudding cup-about 4 glasses of Water with some mio. Thinking of what I want to eat now.

      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.
