Hello :-) names Katrina. I'm 22 years old. I finally got my surgery date for gastric bypass! It's been a long 6 months but well worth it because I learned a lot about myself, my body and the way food is (par say) I have lost 25 pounds so far! I want to lose another 10 before surgery but its hard!!! I'm here if anyone needs support! Heck I sure do!! :)

Have a wonderful day everyone! <3

I am 20, Haven't gotten a date yet but I have come to find out that there isn't very many younger people having this done.

You're right, I've seen Alot if older people getting it done. But I searched on YouTube and there's a lot younger people than you think. Good luck!!!

I'm 24 and haven't gotten a date yet (waiting for approval) but hoping that I'll hear something soon! I feel like people in their 20s may be getting this procedure but aren't really utilizing this forum.

Still is nice to have a network of people in your age range who can understand what you're going through!

If your referring to me; I've been eating very little meals.. about 3 times a day. A lot of water!! And I do cardio first (treadmill, stairs etc. ) and then I work on my arms (so I don't get excess skin) lol and then I do leg lift and last the elliptical! :-)

I would have done anything to have had this opportunity 10 years sooner !!

      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.
