So looks like so far I will be the first for the month...scary! Guess I will need to post every day after surgery to let you know what each day brings! lol. Are you all as scared as I am? One minute I am excited about it and find myself dreaming of the new me - the next my stomach turns and I am asking myself what the heck am I doing!

What part of AK are in in kitten? Went on cruise last year to Alaska - scenery was mind blowing. Disappointed because I didnt see any whales though!

I'm in anchorage, the biggest city. Don't feel so bad, I've lived here for the majority of my life and never seen a whale. Lots of moose, foxs, rabbits, and bears but never whales. I probably don't make it to the Water enough tho.

I'm not so much scared as I am in disbelief. It's something I've thought about for so long that it doesn't seem true. I find that during the day I'm excited but at night I start to get nervous. This website has helped tremendously tho.

My surgery is on August 1 !! This is finally happening! I started this journey in March and I started my 2 week liquid diet today . I've finished my food funerals so I started it a day early.

I am 55 years old and weighed 262.6 this morning. My hubby helped me take my measurements so I can keep track of my progress . I found out today that I do not like Premier Protein shakes although I did finish the one I opened. I do like Muscle Milk!

Congratulations and best wishes to all of you and I look forward to sharing this experience with you!!

      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.
