I actually have a video I made the evening before the surgery, but never posted. Maybe I could make another and put them both on...

I wish I knew how to use the editing software I would combine them and add in before and after pics, too.

I wish I could but I get stage fright and no-one wants to watch me studder while I try to explain my weight loss journey. LOL :blink: I haven't even put any before pics on this site because I never took pics while I was huge, all I got is my work I.D. and when I lose the rest of my weight I will post it for a Before N After. If you got a video on youtube I will look for it, youtube was one of the main encouragement to pursue weight loss surgery.

You Go Girl! :D

I'm thinking about doing it. I should have my surgery next month so I better get started. Have you watched Cecelia Lane's YouTubes? I really enjoyed hers.

Hi Tracylynn,

Yes!!!!!!!! I have thought about doing that as well!!!! I have watched tons of YouTube videos. My favorite are phillytomcat and thebypassman!!! I think I would feel like a real dork but then again I am sure the people that put their videos up felt like a dork too but we didn't think so. Lol

I'm just waiting to hear back from insurance so I can get mine scheduled!!

Lots of luck!!

      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.
