FB is private but I think it shows up in your feed. I love the idea of more a private group text. But I think that has to be through FB. Checking it out.

my mom is also worried...its def a mom thing. She's not overweight so I've tried to explain to her the fight I have with my body and how much freedom this could give me so she's supportive. But still worried.

Yes, I think all the moms are worried. It's a mom thing. But maybe it will stop all the hints about what I could/should/do to lose weight!

Will check out the fb page. Excited for the support! The text will be a nice option too. My liquid diet doesn't start until 1 week before surgery. I am scared to cut out caffeine...I have been cutting down. Such a thing to worry about!

      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.
