My family is 1/2 supportive. I have my hubby, mom and grandmother pro sleeve, and everyone else con. What's funny is the first people to point out I'm fat all the time are the people against me getting the surgery. I have 21 days till I get it done. Its at Good Shepard Hospital in Barrington, IL. I'm 31, about 247lbs and 5'8". I also have three kids, ages 2,2, and 1. I would like to blame them for my weight gain but it's my fault. I'd like to be 155lbs. I'm starting to get really nervous about Dec 3rd. I'm worried that it will hurt, that I'll have all this extra skin and what if I get this done and it doesnt work. I'm glad I found this so I can read what others are posting so I don't feel so alone.

Heh... You've had three kids.. This surgery should be a piece of cake! Except for the restriction for lifting any weight (ie:kids) I think you'll be surprised how easy this will be.

I can't agree more! How is everyone's family reacting to the surgery? Are they supportive' date=' concerned, pessimistic?

I haven't told my family yet....my husband and close friends are supportive but many other family members are not aware of my surgery. I'm hoping to have dropped some weight by Christmas.

I'm so excited to see the looks on their faces this time NEXT year! I hope to have lost 100lbs by then..... I know it will take a lot of hard work, but I'm so ready to change my life and start eating to live!!!

Really curious about how everyone's friends and family are reacting to your surgery!![/quote']

My husband, sister and brother are very supportive. My mom is terrified and I don't know how to reassure her.

Tell your mom the surgery has a mortality rate that is less than gallbladder surgery!

With my parents, I focused on how this will help my overall physical health. Arthritis in my knees, acid reflux, thryroid issues, etc.

I just told my last immediate family member last night. Every one has been amazing and has been offering to help etc. I was so scared to tell them all but my siblings, parents and close friends have all been great. I'm so blessed.

      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.
