  1. My mother told me I looked like I gained weight lately. I told her I had actually lost 27 pounds since Jan 1. What does she know. I told you " no body notices the first 75" She does not know about my surgery.- I am in Pre-op liquid and keep avoiding lunch with her. Ssshhhhhhhhhh!
  2. My case nurse said: no one expects you to be perfect every day. But if you can honestly say: I am pretty good most meals, most days, most weeks....... You will get there. Hang in there
  3. Got my insurance approval, after their required 6 month program. I was irked at first. But it really was a good thing. I Have lost 32 .5 lbs so far, with a goal of 40 by surgery date. 9 days from now. The liquid diet is not bad. Not a hunger torture. I am allowed 600-800 cals a day. New Direction shakes are pretty good. I just wish there were more flavors. I cannot find the chicken Soup.. I got it once. Pretty good. Nobody but my wife has noticed the weight loss. I used to joke " nobody notices the first 75 pounds you lose" I barely noticed the first 30. Good luck to all Ocotober people!
  4. My home sleep study was absurd. I was sure I did not do it right. They got enough data to confirm apnea Got a C pap. I love it. I sleep so deeply. No problem
  5. Ohhhh that sux. Do it. Drop the weight. Show them. You can do it.
  6. I am on day 4 of liquid diet. My doctor suggested New Direction. I am very. Happy with them. There are cold shakes, hot Soups, pudding, hot cocoa. I mam allowed 3 to 4 per day. Each is 200 calories, 53 grams of Protein, and 100% of MDR of many Vitamins. Very satisfying. Hot Cocoa for b fast, vanilla or choc shake for lunch, Soup for dinner, and possibility a pudding. For evening snack. Also at least 1/2. Gallon Of Water /day. So far , so good.
