Hang in there girls and boys. I had my surgery May 1 and as of this week I was down 111 lbs. and I am not miss watch everything I eat and exercise all the time. I have been careful and do walking. You all can do it too! I have gotten rid of most of my medication for type 2 and other related stuff. Hang in there group. You can do it. The surgery is a great tool to help get your life back! I am down to the weight I was in freshman year of college and that was a long time ago. In short my oldest son turns 21 next month!

Wow that is awesome. When I first started I weighed well over 400. Let's just say the doctor scales wouldn't pick me up. I first did a mock liquid diet before I decided to actually have the surgery. I lost about 60 lbs then, but I didn't keep it off and didn't know how to do it the right way. I had a car wreck a few years back and broke my hip in 9 places and my pelvis in 2. I have been struggling with limited mobility. I am hoping that losing this weight will help me with pain levels. I am down to 333 I lost 31 lbs during the liquid diet. I have lost 70+ since my biggest.

      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.
