I have 3mths 12 days left in my 12mth required weight coaching with Anthem BCBS. Wow, it's getting closer. I don't have a surgery date yet. My appt with the surgeon is Aug 15. I'm hoping to have the surgery in September. I hope this works for me. I can't imagine being a size 10. I havent been that size since I was like 5 or 6 years old and that was children's sizes!!!

I have thought recently too about the decision I'm making and I just want to get this weight off so bad. I wonder what it's going to be like. I'm praying that I have no complications. That's the part that really gives me pause. But on the other hand I have a feeling that things will be okay. I'm just ready to be over this 12mths.

Looking at everyone's pictures are so inspiring. Sometimes I feel obsessed with reading this forum and looking at pictures. It makes me want to hurry up and be done with this.

I'm hoping and can't wait to show my before and after pictures. I'm praying for blessings and success!

      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.
