I have admittedly gained some weight back as well. I am getting a new battery for my kitchen scale and getting back on track. We got this!

My original date was in March.. Knowing that I was being rescheduled. I gained so much weight . being locked down with covid and eating. I gained 40 pounds since March...my diet for surgery starts Sunday..ugh!

I think a lot of us did. I gained 10 pounds in 2 months working from home and losing half my daily activity. However, in the first 3 days of my milk diet I have lost 7 pounds versus the 7 pounds in 7 days the first time in March before I got canceled when I had been a lot more disciplined about avoiding carbs and doing 2 shakes a day before starting. So my excess weight is coming off faster with this extreme restriction, but I expect it to slow down soon as my body is done being shocked from 2 meals a day (kept my Breakfast shake) and 2 Snacks to milk, broth, and Water only. And of course, I'm starving and feel like crap doing it this time since I was eating more before. I'm at the "OMG, you get unlimited green veggies, 2 salads, or 4 ounces of lean meat a day?!! Not fair!!" stage because I love that stuff but am allowed 0 solids for 2 weeks pre and 2 weeks post.

Hello all! My first post, and I’m really appreciative that a community like this is available! I’m a 49 year old female, scheduled for VSG surgery on June 2 with target weight loss of 90 pounds. I’d like to find a buddy(s) going through (or have gone through) the same so we can be supportive, share tips, and just be losers. Please reach out if you’re interested! Wishing you all the best!

My covid test just got scheduled for next Tuesday. I made it for *after* work. No students need to see me on video sessions all blotchy from trauma tears if it's that bad, lol. It's getting closer!

      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.
