I am not from philly but you can get support and encouragement by using my fitness pal and becoming friends with other bandsters. You can track your progress and eating diary openly so people can see- that should make you feel less alone

Why are you scared? Just go in and work on you. You have no reason to be afraid. One thing about the weight loss journey everyone must learn is that you have to be strong and courageous. If you aren't, fake it until you are. Courage is what will help you to make better decisions at the family dinners, ask the waiter for modifications to your order. It will also help you to go to the gym. Call planet fitness beforehand and set up a training session. The trainer will introduce you to the equipment and help you to develop a blueprint for your workouts. After that, focus on you and no one else while you are there. 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.
