This came up and was posted on another forum. Some one asked a question about rather tell or not? This is where I'm at so far. I have only told a few people about my upcoming surgery. I wanted to tell my mom. But she wasn't supportive of weight loss surgery. I may tell her when I get a date.

My hubby however, is becoming even more supportive.

This is a major surgery! I went 10 years ago to a gastric bypass seminar, and then 5 years ago to the lap band seminar. At both sessions, I was over 310lbs. Even though I knew that I needed help, I wasn't ready for surgery and the changes. I was afraid of how I would look with the skin and the lifestyle of not being able to enjoy eating. 10 years later, I still don't have any health issues other than knee pain and I am finally ready for the change.

Take some time - the surgery will be here when you are ready. There may even be a new procedure that you feel more comfortable with.

      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.
