That video described my life to a friggin T man...To a T.....I exercised like a mad man to maintain 285lbs, the second I stop I go up to 300+ Im 307 right now and 3 days till surgery...I simply can not control what I eat on my own..I also am combining mine with some mental counseling for behavioral issues..Thank you sooooooo much for this video, you made my decision so much easier I was second guessing myself and my decision..

I don't ususally watch these things all the way through, but your video was like a good book that you can't put down. Congratulations. Well done. Thank you. Very inspiring. P.S. This did not come up in the Guy's Only forum, so I guess it's ok for a chic to respond.

Great video. I thought the way you did it was clever and engaging, even if I did have a little bit of a panic when you undid your flies! Haha.

      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.
