I have lost about 20 pounds. My surgeon will cancel surgery if you gain weight before hand. So I set a goal for myself to be under 300 on the day of my surgery. I only have a few pounds to go and my surgery isn't for another 33 days. I think I am doing pretty good.

My surgery is scheduled for June 3. I start the liquid diet tomorrow. I'm trying not to obsess about the liquid diet or the surgery, but instead trying to focus on the new life that awaits me. I told my office friends I may be a little cranky next week if I'm struggling with the hunger. Good luck to everyone having surgery soon!

Well, I just stepped on the scale for the first time in two weeks and I'm down seven pounds, despite the food funerals I've been having in anticipation of my all liquid diet starting this Thursday. I'm jumping for joy because I had gained 15 pounds in a month after a medication switch. I was worried they might cancel my surgery. Sooooo- YAY!! Lol.

To drummergirl- I have to do a 2 wk liquid diet my dr wants me to lose at least 10lbs before surgery. I have a band right now they took all my Fluid out Monday and its amazing what I can eat right now. I will start liquids exactly 2 wks before no sooner lol. I have my pre-op class on the 29th. When do you start liquids?

TLawre2- I start liquids in two days, I am nervous about it but hope that I will do it without messing up! I have read how hard it is to do...but I will do the best that I can. I still haven't gotten my insurance approval, I am afraid I will do all this and then get denied. Oh well I will just do the diet and hope for the best. I bet you are excited for the pre-op class!!

      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.
