Not bad -- perfectly normal!!! I'm a visual person too and love to see that ticker for the weight move down and the ticker for surgery move further and further out (I'm post-surgery).

Best wishes and wild success on your surgery!

Just got home from my preop appt.. surprise to me... NO SPECIAL DIET!! I have decided that I will do high Protein and little or no carbs, figure the jump start isn't going to kill me, only help. But I was shocked when my surgeon said "Just don't gain anything"!

I started last July.. but didn't feel great about the surgeon, so decided to change plans and start all over again in January.. only 3 month weight management was required. I am just HAPPY to be closer now. Whew! SO EXCITED :)

      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.
