I just wanted to take a moment to thank everyone here for being kind and offering people support who are doing this. You have been a big help so far and I will probably need you again. (I had surgery Monday.)

I also would like to comment that it takes a tough human being to do this. This isn't for sissies. Whenever we face any issues with surgery and in life, we need to remember that we are strong and tough. That should give us the strength we need to pull through in any situation.

Congratulations on your life changing surgery.

You got that right sister! This surgery and the behavior modification we must go through to be successful is not for the faint of heart!

Sip, sip, sip and walk, walk, walk as much as you can after surgery.

I wish you an uneventful trip down the "loser's" highway!

Blessings,

Kathleen

Thank you, Bella. I am still getting used to the idea. There is lots to look forward to. It's exciting, but it's still a little scary.

It takes a while to adjust. I believe those that compare it to a full time job! You've taken the steps to brave surgery, not an easy decision. Good for you! Congratulations!

I think that's a good analogy. It is like having a full-time job!

Thank you!

      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.
