Very good, I am a bit off track...stress eating for the past few days. So today, I have a large party and it's a sit down dinner, will eat Protein first. I think I'll do this starting tomorrow to get back on track. I have to call and see if I can get another fill soon.

thanks for the info.

So monday and tues I did the liquids and today I started day 3 in the soft protein....I have already lost 2.5lbs (I havent been able to lost anything in 3 weeks)..its awesome I really like the mocha Protein Shake too. I think thats gonna be my Breakfast for awhile!!!!

I could tell a difference just today on how I eat and how much faster I got that full feeling. I think that I will do this 5 day test from time to time just to keep myself in check!!!

looks like you are doing great. 51 pounds is nice. im going to have to work extra hard to get to where you are. looks like i need to make more trips to the gym. and i guesss it will be just me this weekend kim cant get off. i think everyone is going to go eat after the track.

and on that 5 day test. i will have to try it out 5 days before the support group meeting.

      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.
