Mines the 24th, I'm 23. I was scared but I'm so determined to do this, I've Just decided not to be. It really helped that I had to have a Vena Cava filter (for blood clots) put in on Monday, so I got to go to the hospital and kinda have a dry run, the staff was awesome and it really put me at ease. Were gonna do great.

I'm 19 and had my surgery in July. It was honestly the best decision I've ever made. You won't regret it, it's just getting to that point that's hard lol. Good luck to both of you! I'm here if you have any questions(:

I'm rooting for you all. It'll be a wonderful change for your lives. I'm just four days post surgery and so excited thinking about the new numbers on the labels of the new clothes I'll need.

Even though I'm at the other end of the age spectrum, almost seventy-one, we still all want to feel beautiful. I haven't been thin for over 38 years and I'm ready. It wasn't easy getting to the point you're at, we had to jump through lots of hoops, but I'm excited for you. It's soooooo worth it.

Keep me posted on how you're doing.

Hugs

      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.
