Well, I eat lots of Protein, and I try to keep carbs at 20 grams a day or less. This means no bread, no Pasta no a lot of stuff. You have to read labels. i had no idea how many carbs are in food that are even good for you. The low carb thing makes a huge difference although many can't stick to it. Also I try to get cardio exersize in 5 days a week.

Those clothes would look ridiculous with the shirt tucked in. I wore those in the new photo to show how big they are.

And how small you are becoming. I dream,of someday holding up a pair of my size 26 levis next to a smaller,body. it's going to happen in a year, maybe 18 months. Since I'm so flippin' old,i may not lose as quick as the 20-30 young bricks and dudes, but as Larry the Cable Gut says I'll get er done!!!!! 😝🚩

      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.
