14 DAY DIET IS GOING OK, 800 CALORIES REALLY ISNT THAT HARD. The first day of the diet was rough because i just switched to midnights so on top of being tired i was also hungry. Lost seven lbs in a week, which has me thinking maybe I can do this on my own without surgery but still gonna do the surgery. Not really getting nervous about the surgery itself but more that i will lose to much weight and will look worse then I do now. Here is some info 29 years old from New Jersey stared pre op diet at 260lbs down to 252. high b/p, back problems main reason for the surgery and also looking to learn to eat right. Any other sleevers out there in febuary getting ready?

Honest opinion is this. At your weight you could do it on your own. But you will more than likely put it back on plus some. My whole life has been up and down .. Now ive lost almost 200lbs in 9 months and i am so normal and will never put it back on.. You cant unless you "screw it up"... so u can but not me.

I wish you all the luck

Oh yeah.. I take in about 1000 calories per day and that includes my 1 Iced coffee,, I burn off about 500-600 a the gym at least 6 days per week,.,. Its a routine and i am still never ever hungary,, Its something to do with the part of the stomach they remove from you does control the brain.. At least i was told that by several of the medical professionals at my bariatric center

      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.
