Stick to your pre-op diet' date=' get used to taking Protein drinks and smaller portions - it helps make the transition less drastic. I spent alot of time watching You Tube videos of people who have documented their journeys and found it be help ease any concerns I had and actually ramped up my excitement to be on the other side of surgery!

Wrap you mind around this as much as you can, because that is where the challenge is going to be. The surgery, that's the easy part![/quote']

Thank you. 2more days n I'll be in the losers bench. So nervous. >_<

I wouldn't worry about it. If you have been on a bender then they might. LOL.

Hope you enjoyed them it will be a while before you can have another. That sounds so good right now. :-(

Hi, I'm waiting on my first apt with surgeon. My BMI is about 35 and hoping he will consider a sleeve after 12 years of failed lap and. I live in Australia

I am 45 and live with my amazing (and Whippet slim) girlfriend - have 5 children between us!

I am more scared 'coming out' about my otential surgery than telling people I am a lesbian.

Everyone has such a strong opinion and hideous stories of people requiring liquid diets forever or months and months of intravenous food.

My fingers toes and everything in between is crossed I am eligible.

My partner is amazing and supportive. She tells me she adores me as I am but I do not like myself and Sam concerned for my health.

Hi, My BMI was 35 and my surgeon did not hesitate. I had Patrick Moore at Epworth Private at Box Hill in Melbourne. Everything went really smoothly and I have lost 25 kilos since surgery on November 14. I have absolutely no regrets. Good luck.

      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.
