Wow...what a journey! I remember the dreaded 6 months pre-op and now I am 6 months post-op!
Started at 260 and am now 175. Down 85lbs. About another 30 or so to go! So weird to be only 30lbs away from the end goal. Never in my life....20170327_111918.thumb.jpg.2788287d8b9ca2a7e44b89efd2ce7e47.jpg

Oh my goodness you are doing amazing. Way to go. Can I ask what your normal day looks like with food/drink and exercise if any and how much? I had surgery 7/6/16 269 and am just now at 189. [emoji20]

Wow you guys!! Thanks for all of the wonderful messages! Here are my personal rules i live by now... I dont measure and I dont track but I am good at estimating. I try to drink 1 Protein Shake each day (premier is my fav) and/or eat a Protein Bar while on the go (I am in love with the "oh yeah- one" bars). I drink a ton of Water, sometimes with Crystal-Light. I enjoy a cup of coffee every morning. Any breads, Desserts, or sugary drinks are out the door. I make sure I eat my Protein first but I eat all day long. I enjoy running now and hiking! I excersize almost everyday. Even though I just gained 3 lbs, I went down another size...must be building muscle. [emoji6]

      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.
