No Way....My Aunts, Uncles, Cousins all still live there. My husband and I have talked about moving back after my "baby" graduates high school..We'll see. I sure MISS it there!=)

Have you started on a Vitamin regimen? If so, what kind are you taking? I am so confused with the different ones people take. Just like Protein Shakes, etc. Have any advice? And when you start your pre-op diet. I have about 130lbs. I want to lose and I'm soooo excited to get this going. I have my nutrition class March 26. I'm sure I'll get all the info. I'm going to need. I just want to get a head start on my vitamins!

Vogue, awesome on your weight loss! My surgery isn't till April 18...:/ praying for a speedy recovery. Does your insurance pay for tummy tucks? My fear is sagging skin.

only with a 3 month history of skin problems post- loss of major weight.... Ive been to my PCP once already and been prescribed cream... yesterday I noticed irritation where my butt & thighs meet.... same type I was getting at my waistline ( bumps/rash/redness)....

Even if the insurance only pays for a panni, Im going to put the money up for the rest to get TT unless by some great miracle this apron leaves by July/August

      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.
