Congrats on the surgery date! It's hard when you don't know anyone in person who has had surgery, that's why I'm so thankful for this site, everyone is so nice and support each other :) feel free to add me as a friend.

Unfortunately clothing is not the only thing that no longer fits after weight loss. Love your friends, try to keep them, but don't let them steal your dignity or the joy of your victories. If they abandon you, don't abandon yourself.

There are multitudes here that get what you are going through.

I know where Porterville is. The company I work for has a plant in Lindsay. I'm up there a few times a month. If you'd like a friend... Maybe we can meet sometime. ;)

      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.
