Hey everyone I'm feeling great.

Been a big journey but I'm losing weight consistently.

On average of 7lbs a week which I think is great.

Seen surgeon yesterday he's very happy with me.

Don't have to see him until 3 months post op.

So far 12 weeks since I started my diet 88lbs gone. Surgery was 3 weeks ago 22lbs gone since then.

I'm still mostly living off Protein Shakes with a little yoghurt not in an hurry to start real foods yet and the surgeon says that's fine take your time if you like.

Fluids go down easily; Water and shakes and a few cups of tea a day.

No real issues at all I think I've been very lucky.

Well for those who care this is my latest update.

I'm planning to hit 100lb goal by Xmas :D

Thanks again for all your support and encouragement.

MIKE.

      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.
