I decided last june 2016 to finally do something about my weight, seemed like i puffed and panted when trying to do thing i used to love. My kids could see at the beach it was a struggle to take long walks, i would have to rest, i have a 3 year old granddaughter and i just couldn't play with her like I wanted to, my knees, my back would be in constant pain. I went to the seminar in june. I weighed 290 lbs and started the process, following the nutrition guildline where hard writhing everything down but slowely things started to fall in place . In August 2016 my house burnt down and we lost everything that's when i really got serious no food, i started living on Peanut Butter and jelly sandwiches​ , we moved Oct into a new house and I actually was scared that now i could cook, i would backslide but nope,

I got approved Feb 2017 for surgery and my surgery is scheduled April 4th gastric sleeve and gall bladder removed. Im excited!!!

My start weight was 290 currenty im 260.

      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.
