This is so encouraging...have been reading so many "not so happy" stories. I am scheduled for tomorrow and I almost don't want to come on here anymore because what I am reading is scaring me. But I also know that if I don't have the surgery that my health will continue to spiral downward...on the verge of diabetes, high cholesterol...etc with a family history of heart disease...so I know I need to lose weight but can't seem to do it on my own

Way to go girl! Keep it up and keep posting your progress it is so good for the rest of us :)

[Gayle, good luck tomorrow]

You have to take the negatives for what they may be. Some ate regretting lifestyle changes and others because of complications. You'll have a chance to speak to your surgeon before going into the OR and I suggest you take the advice of a medical professional over a lay person. Best wishes on your surgery.

      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.
