Hello everyone!! This is my first post and I am excited to be part of a very courageous group of people. I originally started my plan back in June and have a surgery date of 30 October. I am looking forward to my lifestyle change, and ready to tackle any and all obstacles!! :D

Hello Michael so glad you are moving forward in your life and your health. Life sucks sometimes and unfortunately we (you and me) deal with loss and shame and grief in the same way. ROLLERCOASTER I was abused by every single guy I ever allowed near me except for my daddy, in one way or another sexually, mentally and my ex-husband physically too. I don't know why? Then ex abused kids mentally this also was so hard to deal with no matter how far I took them away he still found a way to hurt them and me until he drank himself to death last year which brought a whole other level of pain and sent me into a depression like never before for a year I ate and hid inside my house. 389 lbs at my most in August and surgeon said gotta lose 75 before he will touch me bmi is too high dangerous. Good news Michael I lost 17 so far amen. But at a cost other g on meds that make me feel sick all the time but I am gonna win this battle just like you are keep me posted and by the way I live near you other side bay area east near the delta

Thanks Becca for your kind words. I'm sorry for all the abuse you went thru. My husband? Was very very mentally abusive and both of us at times were physical. My son one of the twins has add HD and was very difficult at a young age ( don't get me wrong I love this son of mine with all my heart) His Dad did not handle his hyper activity very well... it was hard on the whole family,

I'm Michaela! I'm 23 (soon to be 24 on November 6th) and have a ridiculous obsession with make-up. I think the best days aren't so much about what you're doing, but who you're with. I work full time at CVS Corporate for the MinuteClinic credentialing department. I am a go-getter, hoping to get promoted again in the next year. I have a deep faith in God, and an uncontrollable love for life and people.

I also love to write, and documented my VSG journey thorough a blog that I kept secret up until recently. So now blogging is one of my favorite things to do :) I would love for you to join me on my adventure! www.journeyofonederland.com

Hello October sleevers. I'm scheduled for 10/30 and will begin my pre-op plan beginning tomorrow. I've been out crawling through the past posts and have traveled the journey via blog with several of you now post sleevers.

If I could only take one item with me to the hospital what would suggest. I'm traveling from Alaska with only a small bag so what I pack has to count.

Are there other 10/30 sleevers out there?

      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.
