My dad passed away in 1990 from prostate cancer. I am doing the 5K blue shoe run for prostate cancer in Denver in his honor! Good luck and great work too.

Thats awesome, congrats to the both of you! May I ask how did the weight come off? Was it the change in eating from the surgery or was it a combination of things like exercise, etc.?? Just want to have an idea of some of the things I can do to assist with the weight coming off.

Thanks mrsaizsha! Mostly it is all diet. I drink a Protein shake for Breakfast and one for lunch and eat whatever my family eats for dinner. I eat whatever I want just a small amount.

I do try to walk at least 2 miles a day but wisconsin weather has not been so nice to me. I am trying to get into some sort of exercise routine. But so far I haven't figured it all out yet.

      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.
