I need some help... After a 2 year fight with insurance and doctors my surgery was approved last week and I'm set to go for the 16th. I'm 24 years old and keeping it private. I've told my boyfriend (my biggest support), my cousin who will be at the hospital with us and my mother. My father is remarried to a horrible woman who has bad a problem with me and my brother since day one. On the other hand she holds my insurance. My mother told me this morning that she's so stressed out that I am not telling my father and if I don't tell him then she's going to! This is personal and I'm 24 years old! I told her she does not have my consent to tell him and that I will never trust her again (she's pulled this crap with me before). What do I do?! Can she legally do this to me? I'm so angry that she's doing this to me after knowing my fight! His wife can just pull the insurance coverage on me and then what? I'm so upset.

      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.
