I live in Houston, Tx. I am from Corpus Christi, Texas, but I have been in Houston for 16 years.

My surgery is July 19. TWENTY TWO DAYS AWAY!!!

What excites me most? Um...being thinner (err...healthier), being able to have relations with the lights on (maybe), breaking up with Lane Bryant, not hearing that damned but you have such a pretty face bs anymore.

What scares me the most? Other than that I will die during surgery, um, I am pretty scared of not being able to eat tortillas again. I live in Texas for crying out loud - they are a staple.

Where are you from? Rockford, Il

When is your surgery? July 3rd...2 days away!!!!!!

What excites you most about the surgery? Being able to buy clothes in the regular size department. When I was a kid I actually bought clothes in the " chubby" department.... Yes that is what it was called.

What scares you the most? Nothing.... I am so excited. When I first started the process I would come one from work sick to my stomach from stressing out about this. I finally decided if I am going to do this then let's do it. I am no longer scared.

      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.
