I need to post this because not many ppl can really understand the excitement of this! I actually wondered if it would ever happen for me or if I was meant to always weigh over 200. This week has been so good for me hitting goals. On Sunday, I went to Old Navy and was able to put on a size 12 (curvy fit but still) pair of skinny jeans. I couldn't even shop at Old Navy before. I was a size 24/26. My highest weight was 288. And now today I am 199 (barely but it counts!!) I am so thrilled and thankful that I did this! post-235541-14120768626922_thumb.jpg post-235541-14120768738543_thumb.jpg

I do understand, I will be elated to weigh 199. That's what I have told friends when they ask for my goal weight.

      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.
