Hello im new here and im having my first eval on may first and im so worried but yet excited. Im 29 years old i will turn 30 in july and i have been married for 2 years. I am 5'2 and i weigh 477pounds im so tired of being this way and my doctors have all said surgery is my only option. So i am starting the process and im scared worried and excited.

babydoll83 just remember that this may and is scary but it it very exciting! I am 28 and had surgery April 4th. There were times that I thought about waiting on the surgery but I say down and weighed the options. I have tried several other weight loss methods but none o them seemed to work for me. This is the best decision to begin a new chapter in your life. Don't let anyone else discourage you along the way. I have had several people tell me I "don't want to do this." But living the way I was, was miserable! This was something I did not only for myself but my family! Good luck in your journey. And any time you feel discouraged by someone who simply doesn't understand this forum is a great outlet for inspiration!

      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.
