Ugh hunger got the best o me and I ate a Quest bar and half a sweet italian sausage. The good news is I am still under my 800 calorie a day and carb limit. Back on track starts now! 10 days to go!

I wish u didn't have to cook for my family. It would make things so much easier! If my home scale can be trusted, I am down 9 pounds on the pre op diet, the days left. Wow. That's crazy.

I meant I wish *I* didn't have to cook.

But hey, if anyone wants to come cook for my family, have at it!!! Lololol

Bloomer, that's what I did if I needed something to eat. Just watched what I ate. Your losing weight so your liver will be fine. I give props to anyone who stays 100 percent on the diet n doesn't cheat one bit. Cooking for the family n having kids is rough. I didn't cook. I let them cook their own. I wanted my husband just to eat chipotle or skyline since I don't like those that much but when your starving, anything works lol. It made it worse for me while at work too since everyone could eat what they want. My manager is always eating. It also sucked with the smell of outback. Omg.....your gonna do just fine. We aren't perfect.

Well. That lasted like a minute. I just ate a stuffed pepper that I had frozen a few weeks ago I was cleaning out the cabinets and freezer and fridge and found it. :-(

Tssiemer, that's great you started a diet and are gonna try to lose some weight before. It will make things easier for you. A stuff pepper sounds so freaking good. It probably wasn't all bad for you.

Bloomer, the diet is definitely hard no matter what. I found it easiest to just wait the week of surgery or the last 3 days to just be strict. Even though that's totally breaking the diet but I feel like they just don't understand how hard this really is. They also say that we won't be hungry and that's a lie. I just don't get the growling of the stomach. It's weird. I mean I wasn't hungry for the first couple days but I was so ready for food by my 1st week. Eating is really weird and swallowing.

I mean, how long can it actually take to shrink your liver?? Some doctors don't even require a liquid diet before. Just Clear Liquids day before. So I don't know. But I'm going to follow it best I can.

I did good yesterday was 223.8 today so up .2. I'm worried about not having a loss on my surgery day. Right now I'm down 6 pounds from my last weigh-in but only 2 pounds from my initial weigh-in in August 2015. I want to definitely be lower than my initial weigh-in. Ivan told a story about a person who hadn't lost any weight prior to surgery so they sent her home. I don't want to be THAT person.

Kroger brand chicken broth tastes like crap.

@@tssiemer I used Campbell's Keurig pods and it tastes pretty good. They have a couple different flavor so like southwest and home style.

Still hungry, isn't the hunger supposed to pass? Still doing good though and was down to 222.2 this morning. I would like to be below 220 for surgery. I work Sunday and then Tuesday, and the off work until 5-15. My plan is to get my house clean and laundry done so I can relax a few days. I also want to meal plan/prep for the family for the first week. I'll have help if needed but I'm a planner by nature.

Cool I'll look into them.

This weekend I've been cleaning, doing laundry and putting up winter clothes I probably will never wear again. I'm afraid to give them away until I've actually had surgery. I did that with my summer clothes when I thought I was having it done last November.

      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.
