OK - so 50 lbs lost and 1/2 a shoe size! I went to the mall today to buy 2 pairs of shoes to wear to work - cuz I've been hangin' out in flip flops and tennis shoes all summer - only to find that the reason my feet were hurting this morning is b/c they were slipping and sliding around in my shoes. Fortunately, I got one pair for 75% off!

I am so glad you posted this. My sandals were really loose, I kept thinking well I must not be retaining Water today (sometimes in the heat my feet swell) but it's occurring all the time. I put on my sneakers and they kept pulling my sock down off my foot as they rubbed. DUH!! makes sense that your feet would lose weight too! I know my fingers have as I am wearing rings I couldn't wear before.

Yeh, I kept reading about how people lost a shoe size or so, but I guess it's just information overload til it becomes personal to you. It was a lightbulb moment for me. I keep purging my clothes, now I have to add my shoes to the donation pile.

      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.
