March 9th as well!

I've been on the pre-op diet for a few days. Messed up the first couple dinners!

Better these last couple days. It's been tough. It's mostly tough when my husband is eating dinner and I'm eating my small, healthy dinner.

Are you exercising? Sometimes that will make you gain weight too. You could not be eating enough...you know how that works, you body will go into starvation mode. I can totally understand what you are going through...it can be so frustrating. My fingers are crossed that the scale will move for you...in the right direction! :(

This is day 8 on pre-op. I'm doing 2-3 protien shakes per day and cabbage or brussel sprouts occasionally. I need to lose another 6lbs by next thursday and I'm freaking out!! I woke up this morning and the scale said I GAINED a lb!! How does that even happen?!? Anyone have any advice?? I have to be under a certain BMI to avoid having to pay an extra fee. 6lbs in 7 days.....someone help!

I'm right there with you on this...super hard to watch someone eat something you love. I sometimes have to leave the room because it's just to much for me. I'm such a wimp! :unsure:

March 16th! :D has anyone heard of successful ways to minimize loose skin throughout the weight loss? I know I'll have some under my arms and my belly. I'm also concerned to loose the little booty I have and get sagging boobs. /: any tips?

Found out last Thursday that my surgery I was aiming for to be done in June due to homeschooling is now going to be March 18th :-) I am thankful I have great support ready to help me so I can go through with this. I turned 33 on February 2nd and have had many health issues so I am excited for this new chapter in my life. Anyone else close to the 18th? I am from upstate ny.

March 3rd here, struggling with this pre op diet. I've cheated way too much. Never consumed more than 1,000 calories a day, but afraid that this weakness will cause catastrophe for my mind after surgery. Anyone else?

I'm actually on a preop diet for almost a month now. Not feeling that great today. I've been doing two shakes and then a small meal so I don't think that the liquid diet is going to be that difficult for me. At this point I have absolutely no hunger at all and that worries me a little bit. I don't think you're going to have any problem if you put your mind to it.

      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.
