I am into my 3rd month of a 6 month supervised diet. I am riding my recumbent bike as much as possible (bad knees). I am trying to maintain a 14000-1700 calorie or so and am losing some weight. I have lost 15 lbs so far, so will now slow it down a bit. I really am only required to lose about 12 lbs. I must say I am really trying to eat healthy in preparation for the rest of my life. And it's pretty easy. I do still have a bit of ice cream once in a great while or a cookie or a Hershey's miniature. But this is rare. My Snacks are 100 calorie prepackaged snacks. Lots of fruits and veggies has helped too. I am determined to get the band next spring and will do what it takes to get me there. Tonight is my sleep over for the apnea thing. Yeah I can hardly wait.

This is the time you start implementing changes in your diet and exercise, or to introduce new habits and begin cutting out the bad stuff...The time to show your commitment to change your ways So use your nutritional counseling to get into position with knowledge about things you can do today to make a difference and how you need to eat after the banding etc. It can be a great education.

      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.
