For me what you have said reminds me of myself. I have been the "fat chick" (on and off) since about the summer going to 10th grade. It all started that summer when I fell in love and started having sex. Oh how I wish I could turn back time! Life has been cruel to me, but I have been cruel to life. Instead of turning the other cheek, I have punched back at it! WRONG! I understand that this is a lifestyle change for the better and I wish I didn't have to go to Mexico to do it, but my insurance doesn't pay for weight loss surgery as of now. They say maybe in 5 or 10 years??? I DON'T HAVE 5 YEARS!!! I will die if I don't do something now and leave a young child who is 6 now and an older daughter who is almost 20 motherless. I lost my own mother 2 years ago at the age of 42 and I can tell you it was the hardest thing I have ever had to deal with in my life. I am tearing up just talking about it. I have to admit that it has made me a better person. My mother was the best! She would not want me to mourn her like I did, and I used food to wash the grief down. Now I'm in this boat that I have to do something now. Exercise they say!!! Haha.....when I walk through Walmart my back starts hurting. I take 1 to 1 1/2 pain meds per day just to get through daily life. I cannot clean my entire house in one day. It takes me weeks and it never stays clean at the same time. I want that to stop!!! This is insane! I want my old life back.............whatever that was because I was never this fat before in my life. It is truly effecting my everyday life!

      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.
