Mine wants me to lose more too. Didn't really give me a number but more of how "soft" my upper stomach feels. Hopefully when I go back on the 8th it's still a go for the 21st.

Good luck, keep us posted!

My doctor wanted me to lose some and wanted me at 340. I am at 355 right now and when I signed consent for surgery he just said to me lose a little more. Not to worry so much because your 2 week pre opt diet, you will lose a lot. I figured my 2 week diet will put me right at 340.

Everytime I go he feels/pushes on a spot about 3 inches below my bra line to see if it's soften up/ gotten falter in that area. I'm guessing it gives him more room to work things around in there during surgery. Lol

I've got to kick my butt in gear on the exercise part.

Bless your heart, I absolutely hate heartburn. That's one of the reasons I went with bypass instead of sleeve. I know sometimes when I drink Water on an empty stomach I get it.

Prayers for healing for you, good luck.

      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.
