Yes, I like to hear the positives as well as the negatives. However, don't encourage others not to do one then the other. There is complications with any surgery. Even if its a removal of your tonsil. Things happen and we hope the best and pray for success. People generally knows the risks, trust and believe me when I say, "Your surgeon will or have sat with you to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of all the W.L. procedures...at least the one you've chosen or was recommended." This site is a support site, keep stories coming good or bad, however, don't discourage others not to do it because you or someone you know may have had complications. Again, with any surgery complications is sure to follow. "I'm sorry for all the people whose had any sort of complications. My heart does goes out to you." However, let me take my chances and cross the bridge once I get there. If I don't do this, I may have even more problems...bigger ones with this weight I'm carrying. Either way I'm in a danger zone, and this tool which ever I choose will help me. "If I'm not living, then I'm dying, therefore, I'm ready to LIVE, if I die trying, then at least I tried." Just speaking my mind...not trying to offend anyone. If so, then I apologize, but truth be told.

      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.
