@@mduffield Oh try propel or something with a lil dash of crystal light. It will help you kick start the Water and to be honest I gave up EVERYTHING else for two weeks except for Water so that my body in a sense would crave it and believe it or not it really helped. So now I have a nightly cup of tea and maybe a morning coffee otherwise just water.! You'll do great no worries.

Wednesday I have my endoscope!!! I just started a new job in September, was worried about taking time off for surgery. I just told my boss today that I'm having stomach issues. And will be required to have surgery in January. He was very supportive and I feel much better now that I've told him.

All my blood work has been done. Last weigh in was a breeze. Now just waiting on results and submission to insurance. January 5th is coming and I'm so excited. Praying everything comes back ok. I might... no I'm definitely going to cry once approval happens. Thank you to everyone that is going through this journey and sharing their story. It really helps to have support.

Got passport approval today and it's being overnighted back to me. I sent all the info in on Friday, so that's pretty quick turnaround but super expensive. I suppose that's what I get for not getting my passport years ago. I've been on the phase 1 Atkins no sugar, no carbs and I'm down 5lbs, 4 pounds to go before the 6th. The weightloss is mainly because my mind loves carbs. My body is like what?! Protein? !! Sweet. My mind and I aren't friends right now. Haha.

5wks til surgery and I just cant wait. Completely focused right now on losing weight and I feel great about it. I just started walking again and make sure I get in at least 3 miles a day to stay on track. I went and got a first goal weight outfit and hoping it actually fits before I even go to get my surgery cause I need that type of motivation to stay on track. I'm super grateful for all of you on here and hope we all check in so we can cheer each other on!

      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.
