Completed Psych Eval this morning. Didn't feel too great about it. Felt extremely rushed. I will get the results in 2 weeks. I don't like the idea of this being the determination of my entire outcome.

This is the first week I have held myself 100% accountable. After getting the screw off the bottom of the food scale, which is a lifesaver by the way, I measured out all lunch and dinner for the week.

My grocery list has significantly changed. I actually like the wheat English Muffins. I am Pre-Surgery. So, my diet, of course is 1500 calories. I have found a calendar that helps to lay it all out.

I've completed all my visits with health insurance and 2nd req dietician visit will be same day as results in 2 wks. I am still a work in progress. I am proud of how far I've come. sleep study on Monday.

Thank you for the encouragement. It's been a long process. At times, I've questioned if I'm doing the right thing. I've already made most of the requested changes. Now, I just need to lose the required 25 lbs. I know it'll happen now that I have the structured diet.

      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.
