Thanks Debbie........are you as excited and nervous as I am? I've been watching for the past couple of days YouTube videos and sort of freaking myself out. There are so many horror stories about pain' date=' excess skin and the different changes in moods including depression.......so I guess im still a little freaked out.[/quote']

Your welcome! We all know the risk with this surgery, but we also all know its worth the risk...I'm feeling excited, but also starting to get nervous. We all need to be here for each other and we will get through this Together! :-). We can do it!

Here's a fun and exciting topic my May Surgery buddies! What is one of the things you can't wait to do that will become easier when you are thinner?

I'm beyond nervous and having some trouble with my pre op diet ugh

It's okay. You can do it! You will do it for yourself. You will be strong and love yourself for getting through this pre op diet. And soon you will be on the losers bench. Don't worry, I will be feeling the same way in a week and i will need all of your comforting words as well. We will be here for each other. :-)

Thank you for adding me!! My biggest thing that I want to do after surgery is go to Disneyland and be able to walk around without my back and feet hurting. That and I look forward to living a new healthy life.

One of the things I am going to look forward to is have energy to play with my kids. Also I work in a business casual setting and I am looking forward to looking better in what I wear to work etc.

I can't wait to finally be able to be comfortable while getting a pedicure and not have to worry about trying to hold my legs together without feeling like I just did a workout.

I'm the same way. I always feel so awkward when getting a pedicure.

I want to be able to be taken seriously again. Feel as if that sort of slipped away the bigger and bigger I grew. Younger girls at work in much sharper clothes. We may have the same bark, but the smaller ones are often perceived to have the sharper bite..........oh, and crossing my legs without a struggle :)

      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.
