Any updates mcclain? How is your wife doing?

sorry its been a little bit(holidays). so im 210!!you know, my personal goal has always been 200, but i am going to pass that. i feel great, look completely different, every aspect of life is better!

my wife is down to 170! shes like 30 pounds away(same as me, by what Dr. Ortiz said we would be) you know its funny, the doc said it would take me a year to hit his goal, and my wife 2 years.... well shes right on track with me. we are both very,very happy and wouldnt do anything different, except.......... do it sooner in life! i really feel like you get outta this what you put into it. follow their directions, they know what they are talking about. DONT CHEAT...IT ONLY HURTS YOUR PROGRESS!

anyways, im out. good luck to all and have a happy new year... ill have christina post pics soon!thanks, kevin

      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.
