Wow! Already off meds, that is terrific! Awesome loss!

..drum roll please..... 4.5 lbs bringing my total loss from the pre-op diet to 13.5lbs. I:thumbup:

Great job! Great loss!

Now for my stats - I started pre-op at 228.2, at surgery weighed 220.4 and for my first band weigh-in was at 216.6. So that gives me a total of 11.6 in 2 weeks! I don't see my surgeon for another 3 weeks. I see my PCP next tuesday and i know he will be pleasantly surprised - cause i will be close to a 20 lb loss in about 6 weeks

WE are on our way! Congratulations everyone!

hugs, Pat

      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.
