Hey everyone! I posted in another section before I realized this one made more sense, so I'll post a little more in-depth here! I started my weight loss journey a long time ago but the insurance company denied me for about a year. It was a struggle and really disheartening, but I was finally approved and had a surgery date in mid December. I guess it's been around 9 months now and I feel fabulous. You lose a whole lot in the beginning then it slows. One thing I will say is it is very hard to get in all the nutritional necessities. I felt sluggish even though I looked better. I did some searching around because I didn't want to be on supplements or pills or anything but I also knew there was no way for me to get in all my fruits, vegetables, ect. I finally found a product that is simply powdered fruits, veggies, and berries. Like eating all those fruits and veggies and getting the nutrition from it but not actually eating the whole fruits. Make sense? Literally considered a food product. It's got all my servings that I need in a day in just a capsule or a shake mix. It has tons of clinical research that's been done on it too. It helped with my skin, my energy, but most importantly I actually get in all my fruits and vegetables. Anyway. That's been my journey so far. I live a life full of happiness with an energy I cannot even explain. I'm so happy and so full of life thanks to the weight loss surgery. It's an adjustment, but I mean that in the greatest way. One of the best decisions I've ever made in my life.

      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.
