I could talk to a brick wall so talking to myself on the way to work came naturally lol!! The support you get is amazing, thats why i started doing it in the first place. You definitely get used to it and it becomes kind of fun :) you should do it!! It's also great looking back and seeing the changes.

I just checked it out!! You were great... Short and sweet (If those vids are too long, I usually skip around anyway).

Ive been debating on if I should start a vlog as well. For me, I know it would officially make my choice of WLS open to the public. But, So what?? you only live once :)

Great Job!!!

Thank you! It is a tough decision, because people are so judgemental. I decided that this is the best way for me to monitor my progress & myself accountable. Good luck & let me know what you decide!!! :)

Thats true.... One of the most re-assuring things when I finally decided if this was right for me was watching You-tube videos. its really motivating to see someone just like you change before your eyes with pictures, and learning the ends and outs from their words....It feels as though we are taking the journey with them :D

      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.
