Thought I would pop back in to say hey. I started at 308 and my surgery was 4/17/17. This week I hit 198 pounds! Good luck in your journeys! I don’t have a lot of early pics but I’m in the black and white dress Image1517664946.057396.thumb.jpg.5d5b6d70705b31ff9c1684b8ec3b0e7f.jpg Image1517664973.665042.thumb.jpg.96f0f6920366ec616807ed0b0bd5fc8e.jpg Image1517664883.463754.thumb.jpg.b82b3309ed9cf7b5dd75a007c7288291.jpg

They had the nutritionist come in the lobby and speak to everyone. Then I went to the back to get a weigh in and then saw the surgeon to confirm everything. I asked for the soonest date possible and that was his first available date. Then I saw the coordinator. She made an appointment for me to go to the hospital on Feb 20th for my blood work and to speak with the financial advisor. I got a sheet with the dates and when to start my liver shrink diet and that was it

      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.
