This is so crazy to me. I have eagerly looked at everyone's weight loss timelines, believing while at the same time wondering, how it could possibly be? And here I am!

Starting weight 212

Surgery day 204

Curren 197

My husband said this morning, "Wow! Your face looks thinner today!" My mom didn't know I was having surgery. The day I started the pre-op diet I dropped her off at the airport. I'll be picking her up on Tuesday, curious to see if she notices enough to say anything.

Its only been a few days, but giving my kids meals is getting easier. Last night I was at a restaurant with friends (an event planned months ago, before I had a surgery date) and I survived watching them eat. Got myself the house chicken noodle Soup and just ate the broth. Today is cooking baking day with my kids. That should be interesting. I anticipate frequent breaks. LOL

Congratulations, looks like you're doing great and handling things awesome. You should be proud of yourself. My surgery is Jan 4th, I only hope I can handle things as easily as you seem to be. You make it look so simple, lol. I'm nervous, scared, anxious and excited all in one. Ready for my new lie to begin. Thanks for your story! :)

      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.
