Recommended Posts

Bwahahahaha!!!!! :D

U r too funny!! But I know how u feel. I can't seem to stay off the app n searching up before n after pics. Lol. It just keeps exciting me more n more. Everytime I eat something as well I think to myself' date=' pretty soon I won't be able to eat any of this. Lol. I'm even trying to find ways to borrow the money so I can go sooner!!! Lol. No luck there just yet. Lol[/quote']

You and me both! I was telling my Mom early I may go to the bank and try to take out a loan with my car as collateral. Lol but I don't know... I think March will be a good month for me. It's not that far off and it will give me time to continue researching and get my passport and all that. I want to be mentally prepared for this.

I've read a few bad experiences today and it's got me second guessing myself... But I just have to do it. I can't continue gaining weight :( and the whole diet and exercise thing just doesnt work for me. One of the main reasons why I want this surgery is because it helps with the hunger hormone. I will be more apt to stick with it then! I've always been able to lose weight with diet pills but once I stop taking them, the weight comes back!

I agree totally. I'm the same way with the diets. I told my mom the same thing when she asked why don't I just stick to a strict diet. I've done all that n its just so easy to cheat n gain double back. Atleast with this surgery, I have no choice to change my eating habits permanently.

Yep! And it's not that much more! Look into it! It's beautiful. I'm undecided too... I also was checking plane tickets in March and the tix to PV were like 200 dollars cheaper than going to San Diego.< /p>

      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.
