This surgery was certainly life changing for me. I own a clothing boutique...I liken myself to akid in a candy store.....except with diabetes ....I couldn't fit in many of the clothing items I sold....except now! Now it's like.." Oh! I will have that...and that...and that!!!!" Love it!

That's funny. Thank goodness I don't own a clothing boutique! My surgeon warned me that many people trade the addiction of eating all the unhealthy foods with shopping addictions. At least I spend my money at the thrift stores for now. My closet is bulging with clothes! Lord help me when I finally stop losing and feel like its ok to buy new clothes.

      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.
