In less than 24 hours I will be getting ready to embark on a new adventure. I truly can't believe this is happening! At first I thought I wouldn't be able to do it, you know the whole lifestyle change but here I am stepping out on faith. God has been so good to me and I know He will continue to do so. I just pray that He continues to watch over me tomorrow and allow me to have a speedy and healthy recovery. I also pray that He watches over all of you guys as you embark on your journey. March 12...my reset day! I promise to make all my friends and family proud of me and to not waste my blessing. Moreover, I promise myself that I will never abuse you the way I have for so many years! Never again! Well, wish me luck. :D

Congrats and good luck --at 2 weeks out today it is the best thing I could have done, it may not always be easy. ... But it's worth it!

Hey Blu, good luck tomorrow. I feel fortunate that God has blessed my life with insurance that covers this surgery, a skilled and reputable surgeon, and supportive family and friends. Tomorrow we both begin new, healthier chapters. Here's to us!

      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.
