Just a few words of encouragement not to give up if you happen to gain weight one week...last week i gained 1 and 1/2 lb and I was so disappointed in myself, that id stuck to my healthy eating and doing everything by the book yet I'd still put weight on. I beat myself up mentally pretty bad and my first instinct was to go eat all the bad food i could find,luckily i didn't,instead i stuck to what I was doing,and in my weigh in this week I had lost 4lb! So,if you find you happen to gain at one time or another,keep going,keep doing what your doing and have faith, ????????

Keep going indeed! This can be an opportunity to stop the on- off dieting and calmly eat well and work your program for a long time... A lifetime if we are so fortunate !

That is the difference to me of WLS vs short term programs.

I did this 9 years ago to truly change my life and I'm determined to keep at it. Never perfect.

Yet nothing truly is.

Just keep trying and the months and years go by.

Maintaining and happy and healthy.

Hope we all can be

      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.
