Thank you all! I don't have a ton of advice yet because I still feel that I'm learning along the way. The main thing is it GETS EASIER!! I'm at 7 months and can finally say that I 100% am happy with my decision to to this. There were so many bumps along the way that even 2 months ago I might have said, "why did I do this?". I am starting therapy next week because I still need to find a way to cope with things other than eating which is what I've always done. No secrets, I follow the plan 90% of the time but no one is perfect. I still have a treat. I still have pop. But the amounts are so much smaller than I'd ever been able to stop at. I'm thankful for my tool. And I'm thankful for all of you!

      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.
