I finally have a surgery date and I am so excited! It'll be on July 23rd and I haven't told many people because it is a very private and intimate choice to me and I don't need any negative words, thoughts or energy around me. I was having a rough time because my mother and boyfriend did not approve but I took heed to suggestions of talking to them about it and answering their questions. It helped a lot. I also explained to them that if the didn't approve that it was fine but I need them to keep those thoughts to themselves. They understood when I told them I needed a support system and I needed it I be them because they are the most important people in my life. My little brother disapproves to but he is only 15. Any other late July surgery dates?

      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.
