Hang on, mom! It's tough but this is very good practice for when it REALLY matters (the postop period). I know you'll get through this. Definitely post away--that's what LBT is here for!!

Think of it this way, it will help the time pass quicker and think I will be a year from now one hot mama. There's a saying here where we live and it's not a very nice one but my son is 20 and a lot of his buddies now that I've lost 80 pounds, now they're kidding of course but you'll here them say, Wow, your a mif?????? I ask my son what it meant and I won't be vulgar but in the older guys he said it means, Mom I'd _ _ _ _ . I know tacky but humorous none the less.

Your do fine and just think how good your going to look and I promise you this time next year there will be days when you forget to eat because food is just not something I think about anymore.

Good luck.

      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.
