Wow, I woke up to some amazing comments, thanks everyone!! I'm glad I can inspire a few folks.

@@Heather I I've been focused on intake and increasing my activity level overall. I'm a pretty active person outside of structured exercise. That being said, I'm definitely 'soft' and pudgy all around and need to get some toning in. I'm just really horrible at that. I need to find something that I love to do and can stick with because my will power in going to the gym is null.

@@Jersey4sexy You can do it!! You are starting at a lower BMI so your skin will probably bounce right back :) It depends on the elasticity of your skin, body type, and age. If you're still in your 20s or 30s, you're in luck -- your age will significantly help. As for what you will eat after surgery, there is a lot of information in this forum about that. Look at the pre and post surgery section for help, but ultimately, you'll follow your surgeon's eating plan.

      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.
