You guys will do great too. I was a baby too... Cried right up until they put me

After a long absence I decided to come back and make a very quick post here... I celebrated my 2nd surgeversary a week or so ago. I started out at I think around 260 as my pre-op weight. Within shortly after a year I reached and exceeded my ideal weight of around 150-155... For the past year I have been successfully maintaining my weight... It fluctuates between 137 and 143, never below or above really. Have been very active and I still strictly adhere to a lifestyle of no to very low-carb eating habit with lots of Protein. I take my daily Vitamin supplements; do anywhere between 10-20 minutes of light to moderate cardio (nothing fancy). Try to take daily walks (I'm in a wheelchair, so I guess it'd be rolls?!). This was one of the best things I ever did for myself in my life. Oh and since we’re all adults here... let it suffice to say that the sex life has improved TREMENDOUSLY!!! OMG!

Just stay positive and try to focus on the light at the end of the tunnel. Watch what you eat, when you eat, and how you eat it. Remember, just because you can have the cake and eat it too, you shouldn’t!

      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.
