Yes - that happened to me too. And I was thinking "what the heck". But I'm a bit of a worrier. Working on that. I hope to soon be the one to have that great success story and CHEER everyone else like these forums have done for me. Hang in there. We're cheering for you ????

Yeah that's all you can do.. Starting to know where my limits are.. As soon as I feel the pain coming I know I've reached it and have to lay down

Grocery shopping and grandkids both wear me out quickly . Ready to be strong and begin working out. I want this weight off so bad. I want to be able to play with my grandbabies and not get so tired :-/.

My surgery was 4 weeks ago tomorrow. I stayed sore for a good while. Doing pretty good now. I freaked out this morning for what I called "low weight loss" - after really looking at the numbers - I'm doing really well. These forums are a God send. They keep your mind in check. Good luck and I hope your soreness goes away soon.

      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.
