I am 67 years old and yesterday i was 1 year post op . What a ride this year has been. I am so fortunate to have had the opportunity to have this surgery. I had blood work last week and all my numbers are in line. They are even better then they were before surgery. My family was so worried about me having this procedure but now they see how this has made such a positive effect on my life.

I can get around so much better. My diabetes is so much improved. I am no longer incontinent. The list goes on and on.

If anyone is afraid to have the surgery go for it. Just make sure you chose a good surgeon.

By the way. I went from a size 24-26 to a size 14 pants and L tops. So much fun to shop.

      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.
