losingjusme - I ditto your statement - but, don't under estimate yourself, you too are doing GREAT - and your pictures are amazing. You continue to inspire me everyday!

I love you guys!

PS - Yes, I'm a little emotional tonight - must be getting close to PMS time. My son just got his drivers license Friday, and when the instructor took him out to give him the driving test, I started bawling like a baby, I couldn't control myself. I was so embarrased, I didn't realize I was going to get so emotional over my son getting his license. LOL.

losingjusme, thank you so much! I've watched your journey, too. You have a wonderful attitude, and the right mindset. And, I didn't make all those new habits at once. I just strive for progression!

Tami - I went and printed out your pointers from you blog and following them to a "T". You have done so great and still doing great!

I love the statement in your blog, Just because you can, doesn't mean you should". That is so true. I read a lot of threads where people are saying "I can still eat an entire whopper or Big Mac meal", Hello - why are you even "trying" to eat that junk! Anyhow, its a huge pet peave of mine! I know we all have slips, but move on after a slip.

Anyhow, again, congrats on your wonderful progress.

      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.
