Hello,

I have been stalking this site for the past week as I come to terms with the fact that" I'm Tired of being sick and tired". Tired of letting weight hold me back from life and all that it has to offer. You all have been such a source of inspiration and I'm loving reading about your experiences, struggles and triumphs. Thank you all for being so transparent and sharing your stories. Your helping so many people each and every day.

Thank you all for the warm welcomes. Kathy I am leaning toward the sleeve as well!!! I meet with my PCP on Thursday! Super nervous about it but I have wasted the past 20 years of my life battling my weight. Time to take this leap. I know my insurance bcbs sc requires 6 months supervised weight loss plan with my PCP .... Hopefully we can get the ball rolling this week on diet/ nutrition.

      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.
