Hello All,

It's been a while since I last posted, but I've been busy with work, school, family and just life in general. Sorry I have robbed yall of details of my journey, but really nothing much has changed except my tolerance of hunger and the pains that come with it.

I'm not going to lie, I had weak moments that I thought I was going fail and relapse. I even thought about quitting the progrma altogether because I had been losing weight and figured I could do this on my own. But then I remember that I've done so many diets before and like them, this would be a thing of the past and I'll be back in the same boat if not worse so I'm driving on.

I'm the first surgery tomorrow and I'm nervous as all hell. I've never had a surgery this serious before. Plus, I'm starting to look slimmer each day and I'm worried that I will lose so much at once that I'll have the skin issue, which is a whole other surgery all on its own as well.

Well sorry i can't stay much longer, I'm at work and duty calls! I'll be in touch to let you know how everything went. Wish me luck!

V/r,

DeShawn

I was nervous before my surgery too. But it was easy. The pain and gas are bearble. Remember that you got this far and you're hungry...it's really amazing to be able to go a day in 500 cal and not feel hungry. It is definitely worth it! Good luck!!

      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.
