Wow yeah our stats are almost identical!!! You'll do great on October 2nd! For me the most important thing has been not letting this surgery take over my life. I think it's so easy for people to do this and become obsessed with calories and what you're eating. Yeah, it's important to keep up with it, but you can't let it take over your life. If you have any questions through out everything don't hesitate to ask me! My number is 205-675-7582 if you want to text me any time :] good luck!!

I'm so glad I had this surgery! It's changed my life. And there's nothing to be scared of' date=' I promise! Surgery is a breeze, recovery is not fun but really not too bad, then you do the worst part---liquid and mushy foods, then it's just back to normal life just with less food and less weight. :'] you'll love it!

      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.
