I think that's a good age to start your journey. My regret is not doing this earlier. I'm 41 married with 2 kids. I'm looking forward to making the rest of my 40's fabulous. My date is 10/21.

That's my regret too. Had I known I could do this on my own, I would've done it at least 3-4 years ago. You people in your 20s to early 30s, don't doubt this decision for a second! Move forward and make this decision for you so you don't regret losing time later. Time is the most beneficial asset we lose sight of until its right in front of our face, and I plan on making the most of it- as long as everything goes well with my surgery and I hope and pray it will :)

Yes. My appt w him is on 9-20, they'll do everything in one day. I'm nervous because I'm meeting him 2 wks before surgery. But he came highly recommended. Can we eat anything on our Optifast diet or liquids only?

      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.
