Good luck. Just remember to keep your eye on the prize. The stuff that bothers you in the first couple weeks, won't bother you later....and it's worth the wait!

It is so worth it. I had mine on 8/29/2012 and I am down 110 lbs already I was over 400 lbs, so I have a ways to go but I feel amazing!!!! and so will you:) I'm not for sure about your faith but just pray to whom ever you believe in as I will pray for you and make sure you get lots of sugar free popsicles, because you are not going to want to drink, but make sure you try hard to do so. Keep me posted and congratulations:)

So I had my surgery! I hope all is well with everyone else who had it. And yes I did have some moments where I thought "turn and run" but what kept me going was thinking of my five yr old. I bought here a bike for her bday and the whole time kept thinking "who is gonna help her when the training wheels come off?" That was one of many. I am so glad I did it. Thank you again everyone for the support!

      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.
