So I have been back and forth for over three years with WLS. This past year has been draining for me. My father was ill, started a new job, lost my dad to Cancer, lost my job three weeks after my dad past, was unemployed for five months. I have done for many people and always put others before me and supported whatever they felt was important.

I am 5ft and 249lbs. I have made the decision to have the sleeve on Jan. 5, 2015 it's time to do ME!

I just got my surgery date so I am only tell those that are close to me. Some reactions made me smile and know they will be there. Only two people who I am closest to think I should not have the surgery. Well guess what I am so ready for this that all though it upsets me that they can't see or feel how important it is for me. I will not allow it to rain on my parade! Get ready 2015 I am going to own you LOL!! ????#timeforjune

      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.
