Yah, I am still at good restriction. Although i have the same issue as you, some days I can eat more than others, and once in a while my band has to remind me- "slow down, smaller bites idiot!" lol Otherwise things are the same. I know 4lbs will go fast, but my motivation factor right now is 0.. For some reason? You would think that since I am proud of not smoking that I would be excited to hit the gym and try out the new lungs? Noooooooo uh:(Not to mention I set my Daytona goal to help me get motivated- not a chance! I think that mentally I gave myself the option to gain weight while quitting just so I could cheat. I def have my "fatty habits" lurking:( I know I can do this, it's just a matter of when..

Anyhoooooo, enough complaining- time to do some chores before work! TGIF!

Hi Sarah, I don't know if you remember me..I had tons of questions about 6 months ago...well as of Thursday I was approved. How are you doing? I am looking at Feb 13 (yes that is a Friday..lol) for a surgery date. I have all my other dates so it is all down hill from here. I look forward to hearing from you!

      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.
