Okay single ppl chime in. I am 25 and single I've had the sleeve in January and doing pretty well my issue is I don't want to date a guy who wouldn't date me pre-surgery and pre-skinny, I feel like if I wasn't good enough then why am I good enough now? Anyone else face this ?

I'm not single, but have had this thought over the years when I've lost significant weight (then gained it back). I think if you find someone you really enjoy and can trust with the information about your past self and surgery, if they can accept that and love you even more for it, then hang onto that person! You can't expect someone to love you for who you used to be. You weren't happy with the person either remember. This is you chance to reinvent yourself. You want someone who loves you for who you are! Not who you were. I think though that if they can't accept your journey, you might reconsider. Love who you are and work it!!!

      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.
