Yes, completely agree with you, and I also did it for my health. I actually found out that I was doing worst than I thought, after having the pre-op tests. Like having high pb, endometriosis, and having foot surgery was not enough, I found out that I had a hernia, and sleep apnea :/

I am 25 and will be 26 in December when I have my surgery. I talked to my fitness lady and she said since we are so young, the skin will tighten up when we build out muscle from working out. It will be okay! I'm sure if you see your fitness trainer then they are gonna help you.

Make the choice to have the surgery and don't look back... Otherwise in a year you will be where you are now or worse. I debated over it for three years... That's three years I wasted being fat. I was sleeved 8 weeks ago and I'm down 40 lbs that will never come back.

      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.
