How has life changed (as a teenager) since surgery ?

Honestly, it's changed a lot!

I was on Indpendent studies and I actually decided to go back to high school part time, that was a major thing for me. But I also deal with a lot of stuff everyone does, my biggest struggle was going through the identity crisis. It was more the people around me that had a hard time, I was learning to branch out and do different stuff and it was an adjustment.

I have a question .. Do you have excess skin and where you a fast loser ? The reason I ask is because we are much younger and maybe our skin still has a lot of elasticity and a possible higher metabolism .

Thanks !

Hey everyone. I had surgery a couple months after I turned 16 and I'm now 27. And I'll be celebrating my 11 year mark September 13th. I've had a lot of ups and downs in these years and the weight is starting to creep up on me which is freaking me out. I'm almost done with nursing school so I think my health has taken a backseat to school. I figured I could answer some good questions for any teens who are wanting or have had surgery.

Does feeling young count??? LMFAO

I think it should. I'm 28 but still feel like a kid. My sister is 17 and she's my best friend. Her & her friends hang put at my house all the time.

      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.
