Hopefully it's not a fluke but today I had some energy back! Lol walked a lot more, went to a dr appt, grocery store, and out to chilis for lunch with my grandma and sister and had some Soup. Smelled awesome and worked out well. Even folding clothes and making dinner for the fam. I hope it's not just a weird thing that happens just today and I wake up tomorrow tired lol. Getting some hope of getting my life back. Down 21pounds and 15 days post op. my loose pants are not holding up anymore. Today was a great day!

Hopefully everyone else is doing good, congrats on the surgeries today!

My surgery is August 27' date=' 2013[/quote']

Mine is the 27th as well. Have to be at the hospital at 6:15 for a 7:45 surgery. We have to leave my house at 5! Keep telling myself this is SO worth it. I've lost 7 pounds in 7 days on this semi-liquid diet the surgeon has me on for 2 weeks prior.

Puremichaganyooper, when's your surgery?

We are both doing good.. Have terrible gas pains though... They give us a chewable every 4 hours for gas cause we were told were not able to use our gasx here ( sigh ) so..as of right now so far so good.. Just wish I could get just a little bit of sleep .. Hard when you fight through gas pain and once you fall asleep .. Someone wakes you up for something.. LoL

One other thing right off the bat my left side hurts the worse... However I have been alternating laying on my sides holding a pillow.. It helps a lot

All I know is I'm so glad to be on the losers bench and looking forward to wonderland

Starting weight 244

Weight when I got here 234

Goal weight 130

T-T, your goal weight is the same as mine! I am starting a bit higher than you, tho--258 before the 2-week diet. Glad to hear you are doing ok.

      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.
