I was at a sheetz today getting some lunch and in walked a family the mom and dad were kinda big folks but the son was hugh and looked to only be around 10 or 11 and i immediatly felt sad. I seen myself in this kid and also my owen boys it it scared me i felt so bad for this kid knowing the struggles he more than likely faces everyday due to his weight.and i found myself thinking about when i was around this kids age the crap i was put through. I said a little pray for him to myself and then i thought oh man im glad ive made the decision for weight loss not only for myself but for the fact i want to get in shape and show my kids a healthier lifestyle change and hope they follow.

I got sleeved because someone pulled me aside. I had already considered the idea so I think it became a gentle push. I'm 9 days post op and know I have made the right decision

      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.
