Thank you all. It is comforting to not feel alone with my thoughts.

I too scared of "blowing it" because of my lack of will power and support. I have no family and very few friends...so I am scared of failing. However its good to know o have obtained.

I go in for surgery on the 13th and I'm terrified. I thought I was afraid of pain from recovery, but I realized I'm more afraid of failure. I'm more afraid of this not working and seemingly being a last resort. I'm afraid of gaining back everything I lose . Meh...we'll see. Good luck and best wishes!

@irhodes46 Oh cool! Well it was kind of up in the air about what day I was going to get surgery so I didn't start a pre-op diet yet...but I start tomorrow! :) how are you doing? I've tried a diet exactly the same, just a different brand, as the pre-op one just on my own and it wasn't terrible..I just couldn't do it long term. I hope your surgery goes well!! :)

      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.
