Hey yall I'm Deana 27 (28 Nov 13th) from East Texas and I got approved on Halloween!! Surgery date is November 26 2012 and I can't wait! Here's a little about me. I was lucky enough to marry my first crush we didn't see each other for 10 years but found our way back to each other and have been together for almost 8 years now. It's weird because he is a very good looking man and fit so it will be nice to match him (if that makes sense lol) We have two kids together Kenneth Jr and Sofia Marie and I also have two amazing step kids Jordyn and Sammy who we are in the process of trying to get custody of. Can't wait to start this new chapter of my life to be able to run after my kids and play with them I just can't wait. I'll keep this post kinda short and sweet for now and will be back when I start my pre op diet and post pics when I'm post op :)

Not yet, I haven't really had time to think about it. I am a teacher so I've been busy trying to get lessons ready for when I'm out and finishing up the end of the 6 weeks grades before Wednesday. I am sure the nervousness will hit late tomorrow night, but I'm excited!!

I find myself going between the two. One day I'm excited the next I have butterflies all day. I think all the weeks of just liquids freaks me out. My husband just looked at me and said how the hell can you live off liquids for over a month and stay alive. So now when I get nervous I just smack him in the back of the head and say "thanks dear" lol

      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.
