I actually just joined the site today so I'm working my way through it. I've done tons of other research. I'm not looking forward to the recovery but I guess it's all part of it :)

Luckily I have my husband but also my parents coming down for my surgery. My dad has even offered to stay the week following if I need him haha can you tell I'm a 25 (almost 26) year old daddy's girl? Haha

I think the one thing that I'm super concerned about it the judgement from other people. I know I shouldn't but it bothers me..

Yes! That's something I'm scared of too. Very few people know about me right now. I just keep telling myself that I will be successful and prove people wrong :)

We can do it together! :)

      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.
