Excited to start my journey..

I am registered for my first seminar in exactly one week. The anticipation is killing me. I know this is a big step, and I'm ready to take it. I'm doing this not because of image reasons. I'm doing it for my children. I want to be around here for them. I'll be 35 on Thursday and I have a 1 year old. If my lifestyle continues, I'll be lucky to see her graduate high school. And, that scares me to death.

CONGRATULATIONS on taking the first step in your journey. You have made an important decision. This is probably one of the best things that you could do for yourself. At this stage make sure you read as much as you can and ask MANY questions. I'm sure if Matty could say so she would say, "Thank you mommy."

Please feel free to add me as a friend if you like. I would be glad to answer questions that you might have. Please keep us posted on your journey. :thumbdown:

      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?

      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.
