I appreciate you sharing your tips about making it fun. Thanks. I'm new to this site. I'm beginning my journey. I'm still waiting to go to my doctor's workshop to learn more, and I'm hoping to do the next steps. I hope yours goes really well. - Val

Ashlee.. You are my go to girl. As I can't figure out how to write a new post I thought I would write it here..

I heard you shouldn't color your hair for a few months after surgery.. Has anyone heard if this? Cause if so I am screwed... I am so not as old as my hair is lol

Julez, you are the sweetest!

I have heard that too! Funny you mention it. I have 46 days til surgery so I dyed my grays tonight and will try to hit the roots one more time before my big day! I guess we will have to buy that hair mascara or colored hairspray they make for bald men. Lol. Hopefully, I'll be preoccupied with my weight loss to notice or 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.
