Hello every body,

My name is Cecilly'Cera most ppl call me Cece. I am 23yrs old && a mother to four beautiful children. A few months ago I was laying in bed doing homework, my then four year old at the time, says to me, "Mommy lets go outside && play." My response, " Not right now son mommy is tired." My son then says the words that broke my heart, "But mommy your always tired && don't like to play with us." It was then that I realized I needed a life changer. At the beginning of all of this I weighed 297 lbs. Today four weeks after surgery I an 254 lbs. The surgery has changed my life already && I am glad to find a support group to talk to && get new ideas from.

Welcome to the board ! First of all I'm glad that your surgery went well. I wish you all the luck on a healthy New Life . Sounds like you're doing fantastic! My gastric bypass is scheduled for May 14th . I'm a little scared however, the benefits outweigh me being scared ! I have three teenage boys that I have to keep up with . I'm determined to become a healthy person on the inside and out. Nice to meet you and keep us updated on your progress !

Surgery date: May 14, 2013

      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.
