So glad to read these posts!!! I did chicken out and cancelled my appointment to see the dr on July 1st! Had myself convinced I could do this on my own! Well it turned 100 degrees outside and of course I didnt walk like I told myself I would and went right back to eating junk!!! So the dr rescheduled my appointment for July 30th! I am going to have this done and I will succeed! Will it kill me..... Uh yes haha!

A little history... I had my first child at 17 and gained 64 lbs bring me up to 224lbs at delivery. Well that was 22 years and 2 more children ago!! I now am at my heaviest and weigh 275lbs! I never lost a pound of my first baby weight and it has been 22 years since I have been under 200 lbs! I have to do this for me and my health! Will it be hard yes!!! But will I succeed....darn straight! So good luck to you and know you are not alone!

Honey, it is time for you to lose that "baby fat"! You can do this! Stick to your guns. Just think how proud your kids will be of you for your resolve, determination and for finally doing something for YOU (and them too!).

And they can finally meet the "skinny you" that has been living inside their "big mama" all these years! :P

I'm so excited. Ready for next Friday to come and start healing. I'm starving on this 2 week pre diet, but oh well. I will make it. I haven't cheated at all!

Has anyone had Hair loss? ? And I'm very worried about charting my dieting! I diet all the time with no significant weightloss and God knows I don't keep dates! They want me to be very specific for the last 3 to 4 years. What do I do?

      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.
