I can't believe I finially have a date for my surgery! After so many obstacles, I didn't think it was going to be scheduled so soon.

I am so tired of being heavy. I can't wait to go back down to a small size again and look on the outside like I feel on the inside. I know its a long road. I didn't get to this weight in one day and I know it won't come off in one either. I'll be able to play with my children and keep up with them.

I'm excited, nervous and scared all at once. I'm excited about getting my life back in control. I nervous about the surgery and I'm scared about the process and the trip thru my journey. :(

I'm really glad that I found the site and grateful that there are other people out there who understand and can provide some support. Thank you to all of you!!!:)

      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.
