Hi Danny! My name is Aimee. Congratulations on the weight loss! What an accomplishment! I am still pre op but I am close to getting scheduled, just need to get to my goal weight in order to have surgery. I can't believe you've lost that much weight in that amount of time! I just can't even imagine losing that much weight. I am so excited for this to begin! I was really struggling to stay on track with my weight loss but recently was put on Metformin and its really helping with the weight loss. I'm also on the liquid diet and not cheating like I was.

I have five lbs or less to lose to get scheduled. I am just so ready to have it and start this journey. So my highest weight was 321 and last week I was weighed at 307. Don't know what I weigh now but am hoping to get weighed tomorrow when I bring my daughter in to the doctor.

I am in MN. Where are you? Hope to meet people here and to hear from you soon!

      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.
