Im 32 yr old mom of 2 boys (4 and 7) and I live in Iowa. I totally understand not being able to relate to the sleevers who are quite a few years older! I do understand that they have more life experience, but it is nice to see others my own age who are going through this as well.

My husband had his surgery on 1/22 and has lost 40 lbs and 4 pant sizes already! I can only hope to have his success!! My surgery date is 2/19 and im so ready to get this started. I just cant believe it is coming up so fast! Im on a 1200 calorie diet until tuesday and then im on full liquids until surgery day. I have lactose and fructose intolerance (symptoms very similar to IBS-D in case anyone cares) and one of my reasons for doing this surgery is to keep as much Fructose out of my body to limit my reactions. REALLY hoping this happens!

Hope everyone is doing well!

      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.
