I've gotten on my treadmill 17 of the last 19 days, and I've started to jog. I jogged 20 min straight yesterday. I was hoping I'd be able to start running, but I didn't think it would be as easy as it has been.

Also, I'm no longer "obese". :D

November 2015 I was at my highest weight of 343lbs. By the end of January 2016, I'd had my first appointment with my surgical team to start this process and weighed 330lbs. It is now November 28, 2016 and I had my vsg done 6 days ago. Today I weighed 268lbs. Only 5 of those pounds were lost after my surgery. I've love 75lbs total in one year, and 70lbs strictly on my own (which I'm most proud of). The last time I weighed 268lbs was nearly 6 years ago.

      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.
