I feel like I'm on a roller coaster. First, i'm excited about this and cant wait, now i think, maybe i shouldn't do this. Why cant i just eat right? What the heck is wrong with me? Who said i cant do it on my own? I was beginning to really feel good phsically when i became a vegan. I had so much energy. Guys, i just dont know anymore. Maybe i should put this off until the summer. I also got discouraged bc now all these extra fees are coming up. I dont have insurance so its all out of pocket. My doc said that 80percent of his patients need a hernia fixed. What? How much is that added on? I guess i just needed to vent. Maybe tomorrow ill be all pumped up abt this again.

If you are having second thoughts, there's no rush! Take a break, relax, try being a vegan again. You can always come back, but you need to be sure.

I was there about a month ago. My biggest thing was I felt selfish spending g money my family needs, putting them through this with me. If I could just do it on my own- I could avoid all of the hassle. Well- the fact is, we wouldn't be here if we could do it on our own. And we are worth it. Our lives are important enough that our lives ones are willing to support us. And out health is important enough that we need to resolve our weight issue now- so that we can live livelier fuller lives and for our loved ones.

      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.
