@shewin1 Keep your head up, where there is a will there is a way! Stay positive even though its a bump in the road it just means its going to take a little longer for you to get there. But you will get there.

I have not so great credit' date=' I have to have a co-signer & the only person I asked was my mom and she said no. She's very negative about it and doesn't want me to have it done. The only other thing I can think of doing is a payday loan. And I'm not sure I want to do that and not sure what that entales. So, unless I win the lottery? I will have to push backy date. 8**([/quote']

Local or Mx?

Don't do a payday loan!! It's like 80% interest! My husband and I have really sucky credit (finally building it up now) so I know what it's like. Do you have insurance? If not do you qualify for Medicaid? Medicaid is paying for everything 100% for me or I wouldn't be getting it. It's perfect timing because my husbands work insurance (which is ridiculously expensive) kicks in in September so I just made it.

I am 2 weeks post op today and onto the "puréed" stage. I also had the pre-op liquid diet for 4 WEEKS which was such a joy:)

Truth: My opinion is that every body type is different and reacts differently. There are some things you should plain just not eat right now (fried foods, tough meets, soda, alcohol etc) but others I feel are in the grey area. I'm on puréed foods and had a very small piece if deli turkey (size of my pinky). I chewed and chewed, took it very slowly, listened to my body and I feel great. I've had a few veggies that have been so steamed they melt in my mouth and then I chewed and chewed and chewed. I think you are the only one who knows if its worth it and how your body is healing. Of course you should be careful, but no judgement here;) good luck!

@ SD_mini. Thank you for that. Today after all the comments I've gotten so far is enough to get me back on track . Very helpful. This is difficult very very difficult. More than I bargained for. I'm glad I have made it this far but, it is only the beginning. Where my mind hasn't realized that I'm losing weight.. I am trying harder from here on.

I keep having dreams that I eat a handful of something and then realize I am in the liquids stage of the diet...then I wake up all upset. I am 1 week post op and today was making my husband some cucumber salad. I always taste each end of the cucumber for bitterness before I slice it into the salad. So today, out of habit, I just popped a piece of cucumber into my mouth to taste and started chewing it...thankfully I realized before I swallowed it what I was doing. I couldn't believe I almost ate it without even thinking...old habits die hard...but sooo glad I caught myself :)

      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.
