LOL the people at the grocery store must have thought I was crazy with my 30 cases of sugar free Jello and pudding. I start my liquid diet on the 3rd. I have been able to sleep much, I have my scope tomorrow morning. I know there is nothing to be afraid of in concerns to the surgery itself. I am just worried how WLS is going to affect my personal relationships. I have gotten a lot support from a few family members, mainly because my mom got a lap band 2 years ago. However, my boyfriend along with other family members are telling me that I'm not "that fat" and that this is the "lazy way out" and why don't I just exercise. I explain to them that surgery or not I will still need to diet and exercise. Regardless, I'm really not understanding the "fat enough" logic. What does that even mean? Do I have to wait until my bmi is at 50 for WLS to be ok? SMH I didn't mean to rant but its frustrating especially since I am so close to surgery. Has anyone else been dealing with similar situations?

      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.
