Still can't believe it's real, but I've got a couple of months yet to get my head around it.

December 27th is New Me Day.

It's my choice to wait that long due to work obligations. I wanted to do it this year since it would go toward this year's deductible, and I wanted it to be after the holidays so I didn't have to worry about shopping, family dinners, etc. I can just take 2 weeks and recouperate.

I did tell my boss, and he's fully supportive. I'm hoping it will stay that way. I also asked him not to tell anyone else. He's the only one at work that knows. He did mention that once all the weight comes off people will ask, but I'll deal with that as it comes.

I just keep thinking, "Please God, don't let me fail again!" because this is IT. I know that's the wrong attitude to have, but I also know most of you can relate.

Am I scared? You betcha! Is it gonna be life-changing? Dang tootin'! You think that's gonna stop me???

NO WAY.

I'm in it for the long haul, and I can't wait for 12/27 to get here!

      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.
