LOL yep it is amazing! I am hopeful and yes I do intend on having a few treats before Optifast, but I am not planning on going crazy either. I have been working had to take off what I have and feeling pretty good about it all in all. I have not really felt like I was missing out on anything so far. I have even indulged in a burger with my son. so two weeks of watching and two of optifast I think I should come close to 10, if not oh well I won't be to far off the mark! I hope lol

I remember when you started your pre-op early, -=winks=- I know it isn't easy but very worth it!!

Hmmmm.... May goals....

1- Survive Surgey :whoo:

2- Get accustomed to the band :faint2:

3- Make it through the first 3 stages of post op diets:faint:

4- Start my journey on the banded side smoothly :pray:

5- I'd put a "lose weight" one here but I think the other 4 are enough to start with.

6- Oh, and become the ruler of the :hail:galaxy (Just kidding :heh: ... or am I?)

That's it... now for a round with Mrs. Yoda ... :sleep

My May goals (not unlike Mr. Yoda's except for going a round with the Mrs. and being Master of the universe... hmmm, might have to rethink the last one):

1) Come thru surgery with flying colors

2) Some how gain the strength to get thru the 3 food stages of post-op

3) Learn to work the band and reap the rewards

4) Take time for a holiday this summer

Thanks Andrew. Great thread!

      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.
