Hey! Some things that helped me...keep walking...when u wake up, you will feel sore but the best thing you can do is just walk..

Drink your Protein drinks...don't stress about how much you lose...just weigh yourself weekly note very day...be careful w wine and milk.. And any other questions let me know..li was worried about the scars but I can't even see mine anymore.

Hey! I just seen this forum, I will be 23 in September. I have been looking to get to know some people that are as young as I am that are going through this. It doesnt seem like you see that many younger people in their early 20's doing this. I am just getting started with the whole process... dont know when my surgery will be quite yet. Any advice I can get would be great. How are your guy's friends reacting to this? Some of mine showed concern for my health and scared about the actual surgery and then some were just shocked that I couldnt go out and drink with them anymore.

I love my new stomach!! I have had no problems yet and I'm two weeks out. I've lost 27 pds so far. I feel amazing. I have a lot more energy too. My friends were all supportive and officially named me the designated driver hahaha which isn't bad cause I can have fun w/ out alcohol. I would definitely recommend this 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.
