I think I've lost at least 20 lbs if not more. I'm avoiding the scales cause I just (barely) want to find out at pre surgery weigh in.

Honestly as far as numbers go I could care less. I've heard so many people whisper their weight in hushed tones and others proud that "they've been 12 stone all their life" I'm not doing this for numbers. I'm doing this so that I can tie my shoelaces without getting out of breath. So I can fit in an airplane seat beside a stranger and not obsess whether they are gonna be dissing me to their family/friends as the fat bloater in the seat beside em.

The reasons are multitude, but I honestly have never cared much about the numbers and hope I never will.

Let's cut ourselves free of the bathroom shackle.... sorry i mean scales folks. If we make the right choices and do so consistently then the numbers don't and won't ever matter again.

FYI I didn't even weigh myself on first day of liver shrinking.

Peace out

      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.
