Steve, I can't believe some people think your story is fake. What heartless people. I am a female who started at 419 lbs. One of the higher up people yes. I am on a 6 month diet for insurance though and in the first 3 months which ended monday I lost 20.5 lbs. 3 more months to go until Pre op then surgery! I don't know what it's like to be 500 lbs but I know at 419 it was hard and at 398.5 now it's hard. Being this large it's hard to do anything. NO clothes fit, seatbelts don't fit, walking is a chore, always hot and out of breath. It's frustrating.

I do wish you lots of luck in your journey. I hope you do very well!!!

Just wanted to update, I have been to Juarez Mexico and have been banded (July 30th)

I'm in pain from the travel, but doing good.

Hungry but I know better, besides the hunger pains go away and I'm not about to eat anything but my Clear liquids this week. I won't harm my new situation in any way if at all possible.

I am going to really learn to love Soup broths :-)

Anyways, I wanted to know if anyone can recommend a spot to pick up a nice update (on my progress) like so many of you have on the bottom of your posts?

I thank you all for your continued support and posts...

      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.
