Has anyone noticed if there attitude changed since surgery I here when most women get close to there goal weight they attitude change and they start feeling themselves and stuff

Is this true

I don't think my attitude would be conceited or cocky I think I would value myself more tho

I can say for myself when I am thin I am 100% more confident for sure !!! I have been really thin and I have been really heavy. And I must say that when I am thin I get treated much better than when I am heavy. In general, men open the door for me, more willing to help and women seem more friendly. This is just my observation and my expierence and I am pretty sure other feel the same way.

I have a lot more confidence. I don't let people treat me like crap anymore and get away with it. I stick up for myself. I've lost a couple friends and a few family members won't speak to me anymore but I am ok with that.

Some people do change. As for me when I lost a lot of weight many moon's ago, I was different I felt great! I mean I though I was happy but when I lost my weight I had this burst of enery and was like where did this come from. I was happier with myself. I want to feel like that again now that I have kids, I have no energy.

      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.
