I'm in north Alabama and am 5'10". Surgery was sept 9th and lost 20 pounds so far. Doctor says goal weight is 150 but I'm aiming for 170-180 as I don't wanna look sickly and I also would still like a little meat on my bones lol

Hi. I'm 5'10". My goal is 165lbs. I'm down 67lbs from my highest ever weight of 295. That is since 4/1. Surgery day 8/17/2015 and I was 256. I was in a 22W for pants and 3X blouse. Now wearing size 18 jeans comfortably and a 20 or 1X blouse depending on the cut. I can tell I've lost weight in my face. I'm going to be brave and post a picture - something I NEVER thought I would do. Hope this works.

      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.
