early on just be sure to get your liquids in walk all you can stand. Follow your Dr diet they are all very similar! Don't flip out at stalls (that is one I have not mastered) lol. I have no issues with food now but early I had to be really careful what I ate, some things made me sick and those are different for each of us. Relax and enjoy it is a heck of a ride! Start saving for new cloths now!

My stats are Highest weight 344, day of surgery 332, 3 months 275, 6 months 232, today 223.2

My BMI was so high 49 that the first 100 came off quickly. I use my fitness pal and track everything! Try new healthy foods my tastes have changed.

      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.
