That is the way to do it. Would love to become friends with you. Do you mind sending me an email and letting me know what your starting weight was as I do not see it on your profile.

Congratulations! I was sleeved two days ago and struggle to get 16 oz of Fluid in a day, but I hear it gets easier. I can't even imagine the soft foods yet, lol. Let us know how it goes!

My heaviest weight is 386.4, my starting weight when I began the VSG journey was 381.6. I had to do a 3 month supervised weight program bc of my insurance. The day of surgery 10/14/15 I weighed in at 348.1, this morning I weighed in at 332.5. :) I have a bad habit of weighing in daily. It is what it is. It keeps me on track. Im well aware of stalls but I like seeing the numbers go down!

Thanks for sharing the numbers with us all. I find is so encouraging to know what weight people started at and how much they have lost. I am so looking forward to my surgery but still have a few months to go before it happens. 33 pounds in 3 months supervised diet was great. I have my 5 visit on Monday. I lost 10 months for the 1st and 2nd visit and 7 last month. I am kind of nervous about what the weight loss will be this month. My Dr didn't give me a goal of how much to lose. He said whatever I can lose I am that much ahead of the game. I wanted to get down to about 307 before surgery but not sure that will happen.

      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.
