I left out that I am doing the sleeve. I have another weigh in Dec 1 where I must have lost 6 more pounds, then I start my 2 week liquid diet where I must lose at least 10 more. A bit nervous given that I am already pretty much existing on Protein bars and shakes with rather slow weight loss. That said, I'm very excited!

Oh wow. My next appointment is on 12/14 and I also have my PreOp for the hospital that day as well. I havent had weight loss requirements set but I have been incorporating a Protein shake at Breakfast and 2 high Protein meals. I am trying to eliminate snacking and the drinking after I eat I tend to get dry mouth while eating but they say i need to chew longer to build more saliva.... its hard work but I know in the end it will be worth it! Good luck on your appointment!

That must be the wonderful not to have to stress about it every day. I started at 376 and am at 335 now. I never used to but now I hate the scale and food is the enemy at this point. Whatever is lost is never enough. But it's all for the best. I have made immense changes if only I could get my body to cooperate on my surgeon's schedule. I have pre admission testing on the 12th and another weigh in the 16th to make sure I've met my weight loss during the two week liquid diet of 4 slim fast a day.

      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.
