I really stuck to the plan. (and I mean really stuck to it) I have completely cut out all sugar, flour, rice, Pasta, bread, potatoes, and milk from my diet. I upped my Protein to almost 120 grams a day. I also stick to about 900-1000 calories a day. My diet is really low carb. I keep my carbs under 30 a day. It was hard at first but not it's pretty easy.

One of the biggest things I do is not weigh myself regularly. This is hard enough without the added stress of staring at the scale.

I joined a gym after 4 months, got myself a trainer, and started exercising about 5 days a week. This has helped tremendously. I have lost about 26 inches from waist, chest, and thighs since starting at the gym.

I had A LOT of weight to lose so I think this has helped with my loss rate.

I track daily using MFP. This has really helped me keep track of my calories and Protein. Send me a friend request. My user name is tamg26k.

      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.
