Think we're all getting the same question. People are a holes

When we were in the pre op room. My ex (she stayed at the hospital to care for me) said to me, "you could have tried harder, there are a lot more people that need this surgery more than you. You know you you could have done it yourself hit instead your taking the easy way out" I immediately asked her to leave. She the. Apologized and explained she would support me but she would never have made this decision for me. Look at all I had to risk and I was still willing to get it done. I refused to speak to her until I was out of surgery. I haven't brought up the topic since then. It just goes to show who really is there for you and those that aren't. Kristi, sounds like out real friends are about to show themselves.

I'm afraid so. And I really didn't want that to happen. I explained to him why I did this and how much work it will be. He said "But now you have to make a commitment to diet and exercise anyway." Correct. I do. Before it was a choice. Now it isn't. It's do or die literally.

I loved 'oh you're not big enough to need surgery!!!!' At my highest I was 312 lbs and I'm 5'6. Heck yes I was big enough!!! Crazy people!

HW 312' date=' pre-op (RNY) 255, current weight 212[/quote']

That's what I heard, "you are not that big" I also hear you can't lose that much....

One of my friends asked why I didn't just do diet and exercise instead of have the surgery.

I. Hate. People.

It's crazy & I will be honest I used to have that same thinking but after extreme dieting, up & down in the scale & so forth...you get to a point where you kind of feel lost...at least for me & that's when I got it...my low was being turned away on an amusement park ride! I still grapple with it because in my mind I feel like I should be able to conquer this on my own...but then I think that the fact that I am recognizing that I can't & accept the help & tools...that's courageous! I said all this to say @kristlynngirl to hang in there & I totally get it now!!!

Ugh even tho I haven't had anything but Water for 3 hours I suddenly feel stuck. What's going on? I ate a scrambled egg around lunch time. I took tiny tiny bites and ate it with a shrimp fork. But would it suddenly make me feel stuck 3 hours later?

      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.
