We all hit a wall. I had nto exactly made the decision yet, but knowing I had a tumor and knowing I may have partially caused that with the abdominal fat - plus diabetes, PLUS they couldnt even "see" the tumor till I lost some weight...it was enough.

Good luck to you in your journey.

I know right? It's like i'm sick of being fat already is that so bad? 16 years of chubbiness, and constant dieting I'm simply done with that because it doesn't work. I don't need all sorts of fancy reasons to get this surgery. No i'm not scared at all, i need this surgery yesterday!

I'm right there with ya Tisa! I have been waiting for the last three years to get this done! I know how hard it is to wait but I keep telling myself I've waited this long so what's a little longer? When I feel down I say MY day WILL come!!

      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.
