To add to what I posted previously: at the rate that I am losing weight. I really think that I am going to surpass the weight goal that I personal set for myself (which would have left me with a bmi in the overweight range). I have a feeling that I am probably going to be closer to the normal range. We all just have to listen to our bodies and stop trying to decided what is going to happen when ultimately we have no control over it.

I disagree- I absolutely have control over my weight. That's why I got sleeved, to regain control of my body. I would never suggest acting to one's detriment, e.g. If something causes me pain, I listen to my body and stop doing it. However giving up control got me to 265 lbs.

I am not sure that you have completely understood what I meant. I never meant that you would not have control over your eating. That is definitely something I am appreciative of now. What I was intending to express, a lot of people are concerned about the ultimate weight they will end up at. My initial goal for my weight weight was 165 lbs. Well, I am 3 months out and have already lost 60 lbs. That leaves me 30 lbs from my goal. This is leaving me not so much in control of the amount of weight that I will ultimately lose.

      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.
