Hi my name is Lisa and my surgery date is Dec 4 and well I'm scared to death !! I feel like I need to have the surgery but I'm worried if I'm even making the right decision ? I am a busy mother of two boys !! Is it right to ask everyone else to sacrifice ? I have always put my family first and I don't know if I have it in me to to do this !!

You are giving your gift early to your boys and husband this Christmas by getting the surgery done, getting healthy and being able to do so much more for them and with them. How exciting is that! It's a gift that will keep on giving!

Ladies you are all remarkable examples of what it means to be a wife and a mom and I salute every one of you. RNY is not about vanity and selfishness. They don't even make the top 100 reasons for having this surgery. RNY is about dramatically improving your health. Dramatically improving your life span. Dramatically improving the quality of your life. Dramatically improving the things that you can do and enjoy with your family. Dramatically improving your self esteem. Dramatically improving your outlook on life. Yes, you are going to love the new you! And yes, your family and those who care about you are going to as well!! You are all heroes in every sense of the word!!

If you go to December Dates you will find that you have several journey partners. Good luck on your 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.
