Noooooo! I haven't lost much either...I thought maybe it was a benefit if being a slow loser but when I had way more"shedding" yesterday than usual. Freaked me out! I was running my hand through my wet hair and it just kept coming out!

Glad to hear everyone is overall doing pretty well..at least in weight loss ways. Hope we all get picked back up health wise. I just started checking the forum out again and it really hit me seeing the new oct surgery folks talking now...wow look how far we have come!! A lot of joy,discomfort, frustration, pain, elation at small victories..and look where we are!!! It's amazing and I can't help but think I've had the greatest group of ladies to do this with! Thank y'all! Here's to every more continued success!!

      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.
