I broke the 100 lb mark last month and seeing my before and after is insane! The before was 5-4-15, my wedding day and about 3 months before I started my weight loss journey. The after was taken last month and is 8 months post surgery (9-14-16). Only 50 more to go!

I do walking on the weekends and strength exercises at home. Prior to February I was walking a lot more but then I ended up sick and am trying to get the routine back now that I'm not.

My biggest tips are walking, prioritize Protein, drink water, and watch your portions. It still takes me 4 or 5 hours to eat two eggs scrambled with turkey bacon. I had no idea how big US portion sizes were!

      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.
