You guys will love it! Now that I'm past the hardest weeks, it's so nice seeing those numbers drop! It's not even the weightloss, I feel so much better in general. Walking is so much easier. I don't feel as weighed down as I did before, and the loose clothing is refreshing!

I'm excited starting to get nervous about the pain and everything now that I'm only a week away

the pain isn't bad at all. Mostly it was being sore for a week or so. I ended up with horrible bruising, but I believe had I not had that, I would have been fine after the first week. I had a reaction to the pain meds in the hospital which caused me to vomit everytime I received it. My biggest issue was nausea post op. I had to take zofran daily until last week.

The end result is definitely worth it. In my near 77 week journey, I've lost 35, two pant sizes, and two shirt sizes.

Mexico lol my insurance doesn't cover it and it was too expensive to pay out of pocket at any hospitals in the area. I'm going to Abington for follow up care.

      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.
