So I'm 4 weeks out as of tomorrow and 24 pounds down! this morning I woke up and went to the gym as per usual and on my way home I realized how much I was smiling and how good I felt. I have been struggling a lot with depression and anxiety for the past 2 and a half years and it felt so incredible realizing that I feels like I'm finally reaching the end of that dark tunnel! I was told to stop my medication for the first two months post op which was terrifying to me a few weeks back, but now realizing how insanely well I've been doing emotionally the past couple of weeks feels like one of my biggest accomplishments so far without a doubt!

Congratulations on your success. Make sure you keep sticking with it day by day. I'm a year out lost 87 pounds and I have to go to the gym every day or every other day still watch what I eat. But I have to tell you I'm more happy now than I have ever been in my life. So stick with it for you you got this

      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.
