That there is a possibility that I can make it to onederland... I know that sounds really crazy but I have always been big I haven't been in the 100 since elementary school. I guess that is the mentally that come along with being over weight for so long..that you will be this way forever, but I don't have to be and I WON'T be!!!

I know how you feel! I have been in the upper 200's and in the 300's my whole adult life. It's so embarrassing to admit that, but I am finally starting to believe I will be under 200lbs again!

Just do the one thing you never did before and that is don't give up. No more, "I'll start on Monday" type mentality. It's every single day that you keep your eye on the prize. Mental affirmations of yourself looking healthy! Erase all doubts, the healthy new you is here waiting for you in the near future. Go get her.

      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.
