So two weeks from today I fly to Mexicali and two weeks from tomorrow I will be sleeved. Things that I never thought could happen to me are feeling possible.

*I will be healthy enough to have babies

*My knees won't hurt

*I will not be too tired to carry my laundry up the stairs

*I won't be destined to get diabetes

*I won't be angry at Halloween when I can't find a costume to fit

*I won't be the girl with "the pretty face," I can just be the pretty girl.

*I won't need to cringe when its time for takeoff and have to ask for a seatbelt extender.

*I will know that if something goes wrong in a relationship, at work, or in play it will be because of something I did not because of how overweight I am.

*I will be able to walk into a store and know that my lack of cash might prevent me from buying the things I want, but not my booty.

*I will be able to enjoy the things I like to eat, without being obsessed.

*I will be able to have the energy to paddle the boat when I go rafting, rather than just going along for the ride.

*I will be able to finally feel like the outside of me, looks more like how I feel inside.

*When I get married, I will be able to fully give my body to my husband, and not feel ashamed or scared.

I know that this won't fix all life's problems, but life is difficult and painful all in its own and it will be so nice to be able to face those difficulties without 150 extra pounds weighing me down. I'm so excited to get started.

      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.
