Yes all these emotions going on ! I'm lucky to have this surgery so young because I already have high blood pressure and all that stuff and I don't want it to get worse and all of that but thank you for being so supportive (:

I think the high blood pressure is the one thing that freaked me out the most too!

I mean I'm 46 but.. I still felt like I was to young fir such a serious health issue.. You are doing the right thing, Nate and I can't help but be proud of you and your strength and maturity...

Nate

congrats on getting word of your DOS

this is a hard journey

15 years young - gonna be quite a challange

lots of hard work, every day!!!!

some adults here get upset about "not being able to eat certain foods anymore" miss food or want to eat more

(this always amazes me - because "we" knew/should have known the new food situation we were going to be dealing with for the rest of our long life)

getting your weight, high blood pressure et al in check at the age of 15 is magnificent!!!!!

you have 65-70 years!!!! to enjoy your new sleeve :)

lots of hard work, but i can see B) in your face - you are ready, willing and able :)

i wish you the best of luck :)

      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.
