I'm pre-surgery - just got my date of 12/31/19 - but so far on my pre-op diet I've lost almost 35 lbs. However, I'm pretty tall and carry my weight fairly evenly so that hasn't resulted in much change in clothing size until just this last week.

I have a large plastic storage bin I've been putting my too small clothes in because I was planning on losing weight. I went through it today and more than half of them fit :) My closet suddenly got much fuller - yay!

That is awesome! I have only lost 8#s so far and plan on losing more I haven't stuck to my diet d/t I call myself having a food funeral! Every time I try to I feel guilty and start eating my fruits and vegetables. I had my husband go get me some fried fish and he brought me back 3 pieces with a biscuit covered in honey and I only ate one piece of fish and a pinch off of the biscuit, I tried but couldn't eat it. I am officially starting Monday my liver shrinking diet! Back to the baked fish, baked chicken, sugar free Jello and countless veggies. I wish you the best on you surgery date and I promise to keep in touch to let you know how things are going. I go to my pre-surgery date on November 22 and they told me to bring my support person and that is next Friday, I have so many mixed emotions, I am happy, scared and cannot wait to do as you have start pulling my smaller clothes out of the closet and totes and putting my larger ones in. I am currently a 2xl in tops could use a 3x but refuse to purchase them. I am going to also stock up on my Protein Shakes, Water, G2 and sugar free popsicles.

Good luck! I'll have to do a 2 week liver shrinking diet as well - not sure yet what that means for my surgeon but I'm hoping it's not just liquids.

Please do let me know how your surgery goes! Sounds like you'll be a couple of weeks ahead of me.

      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.
