Congratulations and welcome to the forum! Let the fun begin. It will get fun when your pants start drooping and blouses fall off your shoulders. I just had fun taking a whole bag of clothes to goodwill. I did make sure to save my biggest pair. I want to be one of those ladies that can stick both legs in one pant leg. Can you imagine?!

Like any adventure though, there will be ups and downs. Nice thing is though, we'll be right here helping you through it. :D

Congrats & welcome!

You're right, this will be quite the journey. There will definitely be ups & downs, and it's a constant learning experience. I'm 4 months out tomorrow (and always learning something new).

Enjoy the ride!

      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.
