Well, to answer some questions, I went to my doctor today and I am down 15 pounds. On June 16, 2008, I was 225, and I now have 85 pounds to go, which sounds a lot better than saying I have a 100 pounds. I'm starting to get creative with my Soups, and trust me, it's taking sheer will power not to liquify a Big Mac, lol.

I have no complications other than I can't burp and tore my stitches a little bit over my port site. I feel good. I never dreamed in my lfe that I could eat so little, feel so full and still have energy. My only regret is that I didn't do this two years ago.

I guess I need to get a ticker with my name and weight goals.

Thank you all for being supportive. I look forward to talking with you a lot.

Honey

Hi Honey, Nice to meet you.

I am glad to hear you're doing well and that you have had a loss. I totally understand what you mean about a big mac (I love those!)

Keep up the good work and before long you will be saying you lost 50 and it sounds a whole lot better than 100 :)

      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.
