That's right, girl Keep your chin up and keep it moving. I truly believe when we receive backlash because of our choice to have the surgery, the other person feels threatened and jealous, don't know why because you are doing this for your health, God is a povider and protector, you'll be fine and healthy! :)

i know how you feel. i went through the same thing. and my biggest critic was my MOM who is a registered nurse. she would text me EVERYDAY with diet tips and give my phone number to herbalife people and they would call me stalking leaving voicemails about how the surgery is deadly bla bla bla. but guess who was there for me the entire time? my MOM! lol she had my daughter while i was in the hospital and she has turned around been my number 1 support system.

everything happens for a reason and we are all guided into this path on purpose :) you will succeed and dont let the haters bring you down! i am so happy and confident with my decision (i did doubt it the first 4 days post op) but now i wouldnt change a thing!

      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.
