I am excited for you. I am one year out on 26 April which I now regard as my other birthday as I have been given a second chance at life. Hope it goes well for you too, it's truly life changing.

As for the pounds you need to lose, go for it, you can do it. Best of luck, keep posting and let us know how you do!

Congrats to you! I know the feeling, I had a couple of pounds to lose before I can get my referral from my PCP. So here are some tips I've either used or heard to be helpful.

There is one completely cheating way to go about it and that's ankle weights at the weigh in so u can just remove them when necessary.

What I did was dance workouts so it was fun, then laxatives for the last 2 days before and liquid diet for 3 days before weigh in. In those 3 days I did eat a small salad on each day for lunch and that's it....lost 8 pounds in almost 4 days.

Another friend used saran wrap on her body while working out to loose even more!

Hope this helps, Good luck with it...

      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.
