keep in touch and let me know when you get your date , although the weight has stopped at the moment i think it is my body adjusting, still i will tell you i feel great and full of life. Idont know about you but all the diets dont work i have a very slow metabolic rate but no thyroid prob, the one thing you will love about mr sommers is he speaks to you as a real person and not like the doctors do as if you dont try to diet and you are just a lazy fat person. I have 3 to 4 stone to go then i will be happy keep in touch. One last thing do you watch mr sommers on the fat doctor prog on sky discovery living, he is making a new prog as we speak for release in march, take care helen:lol::rolleyes2::tt1:

I wont get my initial appointment until around march, then surgery about 5 months later by which time you will be a stunner! same as you i have tried every thing but had two spinal surgeries and therefor cant move around a lot. I still try but I am not getting anywhere fast but due to complications during my surgery my surgery has been funded which is a great bonus but a long wait. I won't even buy clothes now, I am just waiting now. To me it is very important I have heard that Somers is a gem and I am pleased that I have been referred to him. I live in Kent where are u? It seems we both have the same amount of weight to lose, still think u have done fantastic so far.

Cheers J:lol:

      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.
