I remember being 2 weeks post op last October, still feeling sick, barely able to get Water down. Feeling weak and not sure if I made the right choice. Here we are, a year later and 104lbs lighter. My goal was to lose 60-80lbs because I'm not the overachiever type. I couldn't be happier with my results! I feel great! Have lots I energy and can pretty much handle all foods (except for steak, rice and potatoes) but, I'm fine with it. So before you think that you are having regrets, made the wrong decision or feeling like it won't work, understand that if I can do it, you can too

Thanks for sharing, I am 2 days from surgery and suddenly there is a bunch of posts talking about the misery and regret. Glad that there is light at the end of the tunnel even if it is a rough ride to get there!

      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.
