In 2008 I went down to 180lbs, from a supervised weight diet. In 2010 I give birth and went up to around 250lb. The lowest I've been since was 222. At 260lb I went to a bariatric session in October last year.

I am really looking forward to this surgery

Pattianne I will have to try those, I just tried the elite core by fairlife and they were way too thick I even tried pouring it over ice still too thick I have been trying to find unflavored Protein Powder I’m thinking I will have to go to GNC or order it online. I can’t believe surgery is only 4 weeks away!!

Yesterday, I organized my closet,drawers, bins etc., lol I organized by size so as I lose weight i can just move onto the next size, after reading so many posts on here many people keep bins by their closet to put clothes they want to donate, I’m cheap so I’m using big black garbage bags. I could not believe how many clothes I have in so many different sizes, I shouldn’t have to buy clothes in a long time! My goal is to get back into my wedding dress i weighed 170 when I got married.

And when it happens let us all see the pretty thing you have become. I suspect you have always been pretty but now it will have worked to the surface where everyone can see it too!👗

You will get back to 170. I need to sort my clothes to. I have 4 boxes of clothes from when I move 2 years ago. I shouldn't have to buy clothes for a while but I like to shop.

You’ve got this! No problems. Now we are just on the countdown. Less than a month to go. I’m happy that I am first thing in the am as well. I live just over an hour from the center/hospital, so there is always that when I have to be there bright and early. 😂. Oh well...small price to pay.

Oh wow, I live 15 minutes away from my hospital which I know it’s a sweat pants and bun kinda morning so I can get up at 5 and be there by 5:30:) I think I’ll be fine once this 2 week all liquid diet before surgery is done. I’m not worried about after so much just nervous about making sure I am eating just what is on list for “mushy” phase that starts for me at week 4-6 after surgery day.

      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.
