How's your diet goin? I was dropping fuel at a shell station last night in Seattle right next to my favorite teriyaki joint it was all I could do not to go place a order ughhh!!! Otherwise all is good. The 14th is getting closer I have my final weigh in today and I got my teeth cleaned today "my doctor required".

Yes' date=' that is a good idea. I am being very picky about who I tell. I told no one outside of my immediate family and I told them not to tell anyone. My 16yr old promptly told her best friend and 2 other people. Needless to say, we had a serious talk about this not being her decision to make and that I felt a bit betrayed by that. I think she understands now, whereas before she did not get how personal and emotional this can be for people who are obese. It's all ok now -I don't see how she could have understood anyway because she is skinny and only 16. Maybe someone else will learn from my error- really talk to kids in depth.[/quote']

That is such b.s. DO NOT listen to that b.s. girl lots of people get jeleaous. You'll do just fine.

Soo I just came back from my pre-surgical testing and I found out I'm down 10 lbs since Monday the day I started the liquid diet. Now I am on day 4 of liquids I can't say it's easy but it is easier when u see that you've lost weight. Hang in there guys :)

Oops I quoted the wrong one I was refering to people telling you they know people who have gained weight not cool to do to someone who is so close to surgery.

That's what I thought too! However, they never tell you if those people have kept up with their doctor's appointments or if they exercise, etc. So who knows! I've read more success stories than anything else.

Hi everyone ~ I'm having my surgery tomorrow, May 4th, so may I join you? Is there a way on this site to be notified of posts or anything? I'm not the most technically savvy person in the world!

Jackie'sGirl, I definitely understand your fear of failure. I'm right there with you. Nothing else has worked, what makes this different? It looks like we will be finding out together and hopefully we will all be successful and healthier for our efforts!

OMG' date=' I hope there is nothing serious going on with your ticker (heart)! I will be thinking of you. I am scheduled for 5/8 as well for WLS-Lap Band. I cannot wait. I hope that can figure out what to corrent the issue before 5/8 so you are not delayed a long time. Best wishes! I am sure the weight loss would greatly improve any heart issue anyway.[/quote']

      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.
