I recommend a low carbohydrate high Protein like south beach or Atkins. Many obese people eat way too many simple carbs which trigger hunger.

Southbeach is a very humane eating style. As a vegetarian, it worked pretty well for me (until it didn't!) Choosing low glycemic index carbs makes such a difference.

I decided on WLS last December. Since then I have been on several programs. Each had a reason

Jan and Feb-- on my own. Cut down portions and did a Protein meal replacement for lunch on work days.

Mar-Aug. -- medically supervised program: 3-4 oz lean high quality Proteins, veggies, some carbs, lots of Water.

Sept Pre- op liquid diet. 3-4 Protein shakes per day and lots of Water

Oct 3 ----- sleeve Surgery. 1 week of Clear liquids, 3 weeks of thick liquids.< /p>

Nov. Soft Proteins ground chicken, ground turkey , tuna, cottage cheese

Dec - lean proteins. chicken turkey fish etc. no beef, pork , or veal.

I am grateful for the help I got along the way. I have all of these programs in my bag of tricks. I can, and do mix and match them to control what I eat.

Next week I get steak! Woo hoo!

I have lost 65 pounds in 2013. 35 pounds more to go. I feel great. This has been a life changing experience.

I wish all of you a Happy, Healthy, and Successful. 2014!

      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.
