32. I thought about it a few years ago but I wasn't mentally prepared for the challenge of such a huge life change until the past few months.

I'm there with u. I looked into it for many years. I was never mentally ready untill now.

I'm 22 , would you have done it my age?

Personally no bc I wasn't mentally prepared for all of the changes. I think many people have it at your age and are very successful.

I was 61 on the day of surgery. Like most above, I wish I had not waited so long. By the time I decided to get serious about my weight, I couldn't walk a block, I was in pain all the time, my diabetes was getting worse, etc, etc. I'm a new, younger woman now.

      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.
