Hi Krissy - wow you are really young to be going through this already, but it was the best thing I ever did! Where are you having your surgery? I had mine at St. Rapael's in New Haven. I have lost almost 90 lbs.!! It has been an amazing journey.

Yeah I know I'm really young. But I've tried to lose weight multiple times and have been overweight my whole life.. The way I see it is, I'm giving myself the best life I can. My parents have high blood pressure and diabetes. So i don't want that stuff. I don't want to go through life feeling like **** about myself.. I think this is going to help me a lot..

I think you are absolutely doing the right thing. My parents were both very morbidly obese and I was overweight for most of my life too. Unfortunately there was not the opportunity for this kind of thing when I was young, so had to wait till I was 54 to have, but I am very happy now. How much weight do you have to lose? They told me I would lose around 70 lbs., but I have lost almost 90 lbs. I am eight months out from my surgery and my weight loss has slowed way down. I think I am about where I am going to be now. I went from a size 20 to a size 10.

      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.
