Hey DeeJack! I'm shooting for Feb 14 or 15. Happy Valentines day to me!! haha. Gonna finally show myself some love. Let myself go to make sure my kids and husband can have a good life, now it's time for me to have MY good life (which will just make their lives all the better) Like you, I am heading to TJ for Dr. Almanza. Scared, excited, nervous... all of the above! But just like you said inna year we are gonna be SO HAPPY we did this and maybe even wonder why we waited so long!

Here's to a new life... Btw if we keep our dates we've said in this topic... this time next month we will be post op! :D Pretty cool feeling!

I go in on 2-6 for my surgery. I've been on my presurgical diet for 4 days now and it sucks!

I can't believe how cranky I am.

February 5th for me, with Dr. Aceves. I'm excited, nervous, scared and anxious - alternating between all feelings through out the day. I had the band put in in TJ eight years ago, but I've had it out now for four years. I'm ready for this!!

There are ppl who I've encounter and they said to me that you don't need the surgery. Then I say to them you are not me, you don't live in this big body that I live in. I'm ready to live again. They also tell me how risky the surgery is but I tell them it's a risk staying big. I don't have low self esteem at all but I'm doing something for me this time and no one will stop me. So I say to everyone who's having the surgery or considering having the surgery stand strong and everything will workout just fine. Do what make you happy. I will be doing that soon

      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.
