Me too. My date is Sept. 5. Can you start by telling me how to get the weight chart to show up. I created it, but can not figure out how to make it appear...

You need to go to edit your profile, and then edit your signature, and then copy and paste the code they give you for your ticker, and then you will have a ticker on your signature part.

Good luck on your surgery, and let us know how it goes!

So how does it work. I have a myspace profile as well.. myspace.com/mom_of_2harts

Lets see, have you lost weight so far, and how much are you hoping to lose?

Elaine,

I see you've lost 13lbs already on your pre-op diet. Woo-hoo! :) I bet the first few days were the worst. I have one more week until I start mine. Ugh...:sad:

      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.
