I have an all-or-nothing personality. I know I can't be alone in this mentality. It's a big part of why I am overweight... I can't just cook a steak... As long as we are grillen it might as well Be a 16oz rib eye with all the BBQ fixens. If a slice of pizza is good...then half a pizza with joe joes and ranch is great! Now although this mentality has obviously helped further my obesity- it has also served me well when geared towards things that are more postive. Saving money, career goals, etc. I know I will end up channeling this mentality towards my sleeve---it's just my nature. I am looking for game plans as far as work outs and eating strategies from those who are big fast losers, that are devoted, have a high level of focus, commitment, and sacrifice---that were totally dedicated to getting the best out of their sleeve. Those who are slow losers, smaller losers, or didn't deviate from the slow and steady wins the race mentality (which I totally envy) ---their is no need to feel offended by my post as I am not knocking your process or commitment...I am just looking to connect with folks like me.

My husband has your mentality- he is very all or nothing, and follows a very steady routine. He is a frequent user here- his user name is fiddleman. He had surgery on July 2, 2012 and since then, has lost 180lbs, maintaining his current weight of 181 since Feb. 2013. Good luck!

      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.
