My boys were looking at my scars yesterday and asked why I had surgery (like we hadn't discussed it a 1000 times, gotta love kids). I told them that mommy wants to make her belly smaller. The youngest said, "But, why mommy? You belly looks just fine to me." I kissed them both and just about cried. They are the reason I know I can succeed and my DH, of course.

Don't you love what comes out of the mouths of chidren... My son a dd were talking about my upcoming surgery and both said "mom we don't want you to have surgery again" ( I just had GB surgery three weeks ago) Then not ten mins later my ds got in trouble and turned real quick and said " I want you to have surgery!!" Like it was a bad thing..lol

My 3 and 4 year old know about the surgery after the fact, and like to check up on my "booboos". When the babysitter came over the other day I was in the kitchen talking to her, and my 3 year old son runs in and say "my mommy has really big booboos!!" When the first "boo" started coming out the shock on this woman's face was just priceless!!

My daughter is actually mad at me for not having a belly. She told me she was sad, becsude she couldn't play Hop on Pop (she'd stand on my belly and jump up and down. Although I can handle it, she might step on my port, so she isn't allowed too, besides she's 5 now, and a little big to stand on myu guts).

She said she also missed my belly for sleeping on, but she said she did like it that I play with her more now.:biggrin1:

      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.
