Welcome! Im new here too and have really enjoyed looking at an reading all the post. It has helped me learn more than I ever could by just going to a seminar which most of us have to do. Im anxious to get my life back as well. I have not been over weight my whole life and in my mind Im still the skinny girl I used to be before I had children but physically Im obviously not. I also struggle with PCOS as do alot of women and it is so ridiculously hard to lose weight and sometimes I feel like its gods cruel joke but I know what doesn't kill us will only make us stronger. Best Wishs to you! :rolleyes:

Hi, thanks for the wish of good luck... I am still going back and forth with this... one minute I am excited and the next I am second guessing myself. I am hoping your surgery went well and I see that you have already lost a good amount of weight! CONGRATS on that ... I hope your healing well.....

Thanks and welcome to you too! It's funny you say that about thinking your still the skinny girl, because that is exactly how I feel.... until I look in the mirror and see this not so skinny girl. Best wishes for you also....

Welcome,

I am also new to this and I am excited to be sharing my journey with everyone and getting the input of others. You are absolutely right that we can get way more input here than we can from one seminar. Good luck with your journey and looking forward to more success stories.

      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.
