I am currently just beginning. Wednesday will be my last weigh in for my six month supervised diet. All of my documentation is in, just waiting for the real work to begin. I'm a little frightened but waiting for the new life. I have never been thin that I can remember outside of pics of me as a little girl. I am the only obese person in family. Everyone is petite. I have been dealing with arthritis for years but recently learned I have it in my foot. I have tried several diets to no avail and am tired. I often get she is so pretty but so fat. I want to be able to run, something I haven't done since I was a child. I will be turning 35 and have a fear of turning 35 and being unhealthy another; year. Looking for support from people who are like me. I stumbled on this site, nothing is accidential in life.

Welcome to the site! You'll find tons of info on here, so just read read read. I'll turn 50 this month, and wish this surgery had been available when I was your age. You're very lucky to be able to start on a healthier life at such a young age. I have no doubt you'll be able to run and do anything else you've been dreaming about. The sleeve is amazing! Good luck!

Welcome to the site and your new journey. I am going to warn you...this site is soooo Addictive! I was excited when I decided to have my surgery but after reading the great and many success stories here I am on pin and needles waiting for mine in a month. I can't wait to be among these great people that have already begun their battle and had such great success and continue to be an inspiration to us.

      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.
