Congrats on your 40 pounds!

I'm right at the 40 pound mark as well...I notice a big difference in my tops - all my tops are baggy and I need to get some new ones. I can still wear the same jeans I wore pre-op, although they are a lot baggier and I don't have to lie down on the bed to get them zipped up.

I've lost 45lbs and still wearing same clothes. My shirts are fitting better (use to stretch out Tshirts before putting on and today I didn't have to) I have a lot more to go before needing new size I think.

About 40 pounds and I'm one size down in most pants. Not all. Can also wear smaller tops.

Like you guys I can still wear my pre-surgery jeans although they are baggy. They must have really been screaming before, LOL.

I'm 1 month out and was starting to get pretty sick of Protein shakes too. Have you tried Ready to drink shakes like Premier. I found a target brand that has 20g of protein and is kind of tasty. Also, I have mixed a half scoop of chocolate Protein Powder with a sugar free pudding cup and a touch of milk and topped it with fat free whipped cream. That was pretty yummy. I have also mixed a half scoop of unflavored protein powder in 32oz of sugar free Hawaiian punch. Protein and Water for the price of one. Lastly, I have made protein shakes with other ingredients besides the whey protein powder such as cottage cheese, egg whites and puréed pumpkin and other stuff. It tasted like a pumpkin spice smoothie. Just go online and look for Protein Shake recipes. If you have an ice cream maker, you can even make protein ice cream (check out theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com). The possibilities are endless. Just make sure you get that protein in and check with your Nut.

I like the pudding cup idea! BTW, Cool Whip also has a sugar-free version. :)

      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.
