It will be worth all of the struggles in the end! I am a stay at home mom of four and when I make meals for them instead of getting stressed about not being able to eat with them I just remind myself I am doing this for them!

What scares me is: if it's this hard now, will it always be this hard? If this is how it will be after surgery ill fail!

I have been on a cpap since 2010. Honestly I can't sleep without it if you can relax it will be the best sleep you have ever HD. Also I am told by a friend that just had the surgery the hunger dimeishes after surgery.

Yea it sucks I have to cook my traditional rice and Beans for my bf and reg meat and Pasta ugh things I love and I can't have especially my bread ?de29 but in the end I know it will be worth it . We can all do this just one day at a time if we slip we can get back up no one is perfect

Yes! I have slipped twice. I'm angry with myself because I thought I could be strong but it was my birthday and I had some birthday pie instead of cake. Thanks for saying this. It helps a lot.

      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.
