I'm scheduled for Oct 15th in Tijuana! I'm more nervous about flying to San Diego that the surgery itself! Are you guys ready to get healthy, fit and/or skinny?! I know I am! I have been overweight my whole life and I'm ready to be a new me! :)

Im scheduled at Mexicali bariatric center in Mexico. The flight doesnt scare me. Not even sure whats scaring me. Ha ha omg I am so ready to be fit and skinny!!! I have been my whole life also except for maybe 3 years. My 14 year old daughter is so excited for me but has two stipulations. 1. I cant have a thigh gap (cause even though she is thin she doesnt have one) and 2. I cant be hotter than her. Ha ha love it. Since we are practically twins aside from size and age , pretty sure I will just be "as cute" as her . Lol

I'm not sure if my thighs will ever NOT touch lol! And I know what you mean @@JerryLynn my Mom and I are like that except I'm 26 and she's 54. ;) We're both getting it done and on the same day. But I've always dreamed of being thin and I can't even imagine myself any smaller than a 12! I'm also nervous about the hair loss more than anything, even flying! :( I have long thinning hair as it is and I've been growing it out and I'm afraid I'll have to cut it after a while.

I am SOOOOO ready! My date is October 20th in Boston. Have already lost 10 pounds and still dropping. Can't wait to be able to fit in auditorium and theater seats (Son does theater) and feel comfortable being the assitant coach on my daughter's softball team!

Hi my date is Oct 1st and I start my liquid diet tomorrow. Im seeing a lot of posts about hair loss ! Is that true ? No one told me that was a side effect. MY hair is mid back, blonde and healthy--and it took a long time to get it there. :)

I haven't had my surgery yet @@Lin1738 but I've read a lot about the hair loss that comes with having the surgery. And like you my hair is that long, actually a little longer I'd say, and it's already thinnish around my temples. The loss is usually from months 3-6 from what I've read. It is an unfortunate side effect but I am mentally and emotionally prepared to cut my hair and/or wear a wig (since it will be getting cool anyways) if need be. I was pretty shocked when I found out but it's worth it to lose the weight and live a longer healthier life with a new body. ;)

      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.
