My nerves are a mess. I'm excited and so nervous at the same time. I'm about to start a huge new journey in my life and I'm doing to alone. No one knows but the girl who told me about it and a friend that doesn't live near me. Just nervous!!!

Being nervous is normal, but you're going to do great! I had mine in January and I have absolutely no regrets.

I had mine 4 yrs ago & like you kept it private it's so much easier keeps people from asking you all the time " how much have you lost" it saved my life I had many medical issues and would do it again , you will be so happy with the results it's not always easy - but what is? I can tie my shoes now and have a new life will be praying for you

I had mine May 10th and have lost 38 lbs. I only told a select few and probably wont tell many more. You'll do great, I find that I do better when I visit this site a few times a day, it just gives me a little boost. Just remember your first month you may not have much of a weight loss even though you'll be taking in very little calories. This is your healing time and use it for that. No regrets here.

Its also helpful to make a ticker like you see at the bottom of alot of these posts. That way, you watch your results. I look at other peoples tickers, it encourages me.

      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.
