So today I went the 'dreaded' clothes shopping...Christ I wish I was smaller! My sister bought the dress I loved cuz I cudnt fit into it, even tho I was soo jealous..I was supportive and told her to buy it as it looked lovely in it...she's a 22 while I'm a size 32....I can't wait for my opp and new life.....I'm saying this now as earlier today I went thru a depressive stage where I felt so unhappy with myself and life...my seminar is in September :-( I want the ball to roll quicker...taking orilstat and regular exercise just isn't working as quick as I wud like...hmmm :'(

I totally understand where you are coming from. I have to loose 34pounds before I can even see my surgeon again for my second appointment. I have been dieting like crazy but I feel like its moving so slow!! I just hope and pray its not all for nothing. I still have to go through the insurance stuff. So fingers crossed I can hit my goal soon and get the ball rolling! Good luck on getting your ball rolling too!! Don't give up or get discouraged!!

Hang in there, this is a hell of a process and I felt the same way you have, just stay focused on the end and you will make it.

I agree with others... And I had precisely the same thoughts. Indeed, stay focused on your goals and imagine that soon you'll get that dress and will look amazing in it!!!

      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.
