I can't see living anywhere else. I love it! Just hate the beach bc of this body. Haven't wore a bathing suit since i was 18. But hopefully that will change.

I love to swim too. I need Water. I will be thrilled to feel better in a swim suit. I'm afraid of hanging skin though. I'm 5'2" and weigh 240 want to lose 120. Also 55 this month.

I am worried about that too. I am 5'3 and weigh 280. I am 33 so praying everything still has one elasticity. Bc this Mama sure can't afford any skin removal surgeries. But I have lymphedema in both legs and feet so I HAVE to get this weight off of me.

I decided on Lapband instead of the sleeve. My doctor said being I have bad acid reflux that getting sleeve would make it much worse but the band may keep me from having it at all. And also its reversible if there is any problems and less down time. And with all approvals, my surgery will be in January.

      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.
