I'm tentatively scheduled for March 19th BUT I'm awaiting approval. I sure pray and hope I'm with all of you. :-) I'm a teacher and really want this before Spring Break, so I have time to recover or I'll have to wait until Summer...

I'm shooting for mid March myself. I'm 5'3 and 228 lbs the charts say my goal should be 115 I'm sure whom ever came up with that chart was a crack smoker, Just Sayin! LOL I have no desire to be 115, I do however see myself at a healthy 150lb, oddly enough I seem to be scared of actually losing the weight, I mean how weird is that, am I so attach to these roles and this BA dunka a dunk, that I will mourn it? Good Grief! I am thinking of maybe holding a bad a** wake for the stomach their removing and the fat that will start to go away, and maybe a new birthday party for the healthier me :)

Comment on who I shared with, I decided to send an email to my circle, with links to be able to help them understand what I am doing, sadly enough my best friend is not on board at all, which makes my heart ache since I feel like I want to share my journey, Oh! well she feels what she feels I suppose. My biggest support is my daughter, who a year ago was sleeved, when she told me I was one of the mis-informed judgmental people she ran up against. Her whole life has changed in so many areas, not just how she feels physically. And OMG she looks fabulous. http://www.facebook.com/groups/216807098391019/?fref=ts here is her Facebook link she made for her VSG journey if you would like to take a look. Ok enough rambling, We have each other here, I'v cried & laughed and been scared S***less since being on this site, I also have found strength and compassion. So my sistas and brothers, Ready, Set, Go!!!! WEEEEE!!!! (I say that a lot because I like it 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.
