that is a tough situation. maybe you can talk more to him about why he wants you to have one versus the other? i personally had the sleeve done 12/17 and have lost 68 pounds and love it!

That said, we also totally get that it's sometimes useful to talk to someone who is at a similar place in life. There are a number of 20-somethings around here, so I'm sure you'll find some age peers.

The rest of us are happy to chime in when you need support, too - and you might find some of us still remember what it's like to be 20 :P

Fyre, time off is against the rules, you know that already. Pay is the usual scale - you're allowed to make smart-aleck remarks and innuendos. Got it?

      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.
