August 20th. Just follow the plan it will be ok! The first couple of days I was really sore but it is worth it! Just walk all you can the more you walk the easier it will be.

I'm a little worried. I had surgery the 14th and I'm only down 23 lbs total pre op included! Is that normal? I expected more weight loss by now. Well, I just looked at the calendar and realized that it has only been two weeks so...maybe I'm trying to rush things! LOL

Thanks. My surgery was cancelled due to the weather here in Alabama so hopefully they will reschedule soon.

I didn't take any pain mess at all after surgery. Only the dose they gave me while in surgery.

      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.
