but think of this... in those (quick) six months you will be going through a process to get ready for a life changing event. Read, learn all you can about your body, start exercising and get in to a routine now...it will make it easier for after surgery. Change your eating habits best you can, talk to people on here and get all the motivation.... there are some VERY successful people on this site and they know a LOT of good tips, ideas and really want to help.

The six months will go by fast, the spring is here more activites to be involved with all summer too... hang in there... this time is very important to your success! Good Luck!

The six months is actually a blessing in disguise. Use this time to start to change your eating habits slowly and start to get more exercise. I found that using this time to really work on the mind set helped esp in the first few weeks after surgery when things are a bit rough. We are here to support you and the time will go fast. Good luck and congrats on your decision.

The first three months feel like they take forever, but the last three go by in a blink. It's crazy.

      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.
