I have not had surgery yet. N I'm really finding everything here very helpful. There r so many thing I'm excited about n there r many things I'm worried about when it comes to this surgery. I have put my self into therapy n also join a lot of support groups to help me with all my troubles. I read so many good things about the surgery n I still find my self worrying over it. I just want to be myself still after this surgery n not become a mean girl. I know that I have to be strong n GOD will help me though it all. I'm very pleased with the hospital that I have selected to have this surgery because I know that I'm in good hands with them. Thank you all for sharing your wonderful stories.

Welcome Moon_child7275,

I know that you are looking forward. It is not a "piece of cake". It is hard, but you will have a tool and a lot of helpful folks on here. This has been my lifeline and even though I haven't asked a lot of questions, myself, I have learned a lot. Good luck, God bless. Karen

      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.
