Ok so my surgery is less than two days away!!! And I'm extremely excited, but my boyfriend is tripping. He lost his mom last year and he's worried about loosing me. I explained to him that I will be fine but he's scared. He even states he wouldn't be there on 12/12/12.

It hurts but in still going through with it, my mom and friends will support me. Is anyone else having this problem.

Keep focused on the reasons you are having surgery. That's the most important thing. Count of your mom and friends and let the chips fall where they may. i wish you luck.

I think that the date 12-12-12 must be a good sign!

You can only do this successfully for yourself, not for others.

Good luck and keep us updated.

Good video! Very honest and informative. I'm 1 week away from surgery, I was wondering if I truly wouldn't be hungry after the surgery on liquids only. Your video helped answer that question.

You look great!! Congrats!

Ps. love the wing stop comment! 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.
