When I started this journey I felt like I was losing a friend....food. but with a 65 lbs loss almost within 4 months my life has changed significantly !!I The people at work are all in awe with the new me, I can actually sit on the floor with my students and get up without having to use a chair for help..I can walk 2miles at a fast pace w/o huffing and puffing,,AND BEST OF ALL , I AM NOW IN WONDERLAND! I haven't seen these numbers in over 20years! Yes, I miss food a bit, but the pros out weigh the cons and I am never going back, food is no longer important. I love dressing up each morning for work. hang in there life only gets better each day! if you can't shake the sad feelings talk to your dr. Our doctor puts all his patients on anti depressants for 6 months.

      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.
