YES. Not so much freaking out but really weepy holding my 1 year old extra long' date=' imagining me picking him up from school fit and ready to play ball or run with him. I scheduled the surgery after his 2 yo birthday this July at the end of the month. Checked my fasting blood sugar today and it was 125... Just ANOTHER CONFIRMATION I am doing the right thing for my health. For those who do not know 99 and below is normal. I had gestational diabetes complete with 2 types of insulin I had to take 4 times a day. It seems to be coming back to kick my but however I WON'T ALLOW IT![/quote']

I have a 15 month old Son, he is my motivation for having this surgery. I'm starting to get nervous, but I know it's for a longer, healthier life. I also want to have the energy to be able to keep up with him. Good luck everyone! July 1st is just around the corner :)

Ironically this person I am speaking of is one of my best friends! I have only told 4 folks. Two of which live with me and all are super supportive except her! She talks about how I could die. Mind you I told her I was only CONSIDERING it... not my final decision to do it. think its threat to her if I become thin as she remains plus sized. I don't want to lie and omit details but I am feeling like I may have to so I can remain positive. If she continues to obsess over it and continues to badger me I may have to be firm with her. This is something I want to avoid. :(

My friend is also negative which is surprising because she's had a Tummy Tuck, facelift, etc. if she says anything else I'm going to let her have it. Smh.

I'm so excited about this. My surgery is scheduled for July 24th, and after talking with my husband, I know he's totally on board to support me through this (yup, he's definitely a keeper! Good thing, since we've been together 14 years :P ). He's even planning some ways to help me stay on track and keep him involved, too.

I wish I could do this sooner, though I know I can't. I just need to hang in there!

      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.
