Hi,
May 26th here too!!! started liquid diet today, during the day wasn't too bad, no that I am off work, I am thinking this is going to be a long 14 days.

Hi everyone,
My surgery is coming up real soon .... it's Monday May 18th! 

I have a question for you that are familar with the board.  How do you put the ticker on your posts, you know the stats of your weight loss or your BMI?
Thanks in advance

Yep still pre-op.  Even though I am on my liquid diet and I lost 3.6 lbs in one day  Now who knows if it will be back tomorrow although I have been 100% on this plan no cheating (unless thinking of food is cheating then I have done a lot of cheating  )

I can put in Weight at Start of process 250   Sept 2008
                        Current weight                  216   May 12th 2009

So far total weight loss 34lbs    I can not wait until surgery and I start to lose more 

I found out I was approved on May 8th and on May 11th I was told that my surgery will be on May 26th.  It's all happening so fast!

I am on Day 5 of twelve of liquids (opti-fast). The first two days were the worst but it's been getting easier since then. The hunger's mostly gone now (since yesterday). I just get hungry at shake time (I get 5 a day). I'm allowed to have sf beverages, popsicles, pudding and jello as well as carrots, celery. To be honest I've avoided the veggies because I seem to be hungrier after I eat them. And the other stuff really doesn't help alot, except I've been drinking a ton of crystal lite. The biggest problem is insomnia- I went on the internet today and found that high protein diets can cause insomnia. It's killing me since I work 12 hour days as a nurse. I'm going to try avoiding protein after 6pm.  But don't worry too much about hunger- it goes away.
