Its been really hard for me because i had never been at this weight!!! Ive been involved in sports all my life and after my son i have not been able to get on it :( i dont go out because im embarassed for people to see me !!! Im just ashamed of my body !!! Now im scared of my weight even my knees hurt sometimes , if u see me you would say it doesnt look like i weigh 210 pounds but i do

Remember, you are doing this for you. I am going through the same thing with one of my sisters, she keeps telling me all you have to do is this and this. I just stop talking to her about it, after telling her no matter what she says, I'm going to do it anyway. It is our choice my body, and I want it a lot lighter than it is now.

I remember being 210 lbs and thinking - that's not SO much. I don't weigh 300, I can do it on my own! And now I'm 305 lbs. I wish I could have done it on my own, but I've come to the realization that I just couldn't/can't. food is a crutch for me, and I need it to not be. We all wish we didn't have to take such drastic measures to do what looks so easy for some people, but we can't. I haven't told my mother I'm having the surgery. I think she would act the same way as your family. I wish you luck and I hope you find a way to pay for 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.
