Thanks all!!

YEs Froggi you can...even being a girl..

Eating: I am NO saint when it comes to eating. I have really learned it comes to choices. When i want to snack do i pick a Twix or a granola bar? things like that. And ye i have picked the Twix sometimes.

My exercise is the big factor here. I just am very active now. The more weight i lose the easier it is.

Stay away from Soft foods!! i do cal count on Sparkspeople in the day when i am at work.

I just want ppl that are really high weight to know that 12 months makes a WORLD of difference.

Georgia Girl: I remeber you from some of my early days...keep it up! Keep working out...

      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.
