My pre op appointment is scheduled for this Thursday. I am beyond excited to get this started. I defiantly don't have the support from my husband. He thinks I'm going to regret it and that ivdon't need the surgery. I am 5'3 218lb and a size 16. That doesn't sound like a healthy fit 39 year old to me. I have STRUGGLED with my weight since I can remember. The only time I was under 140 was in high school. I'm convinced my new start may intimidate him. And that's not something I need to worry about. I need this! Is anyone else having these issues. Or gone thru this without a spouses blessing? I mean, what are they afraid of? I want to be happy, healthy and have confidence.

I personally would not have done it without my hubby's support. But.... I am happily married and have been for over 30 years. Good luck with your decision.

I have been married 21 years. And my marriage doesn't define me. I am my own individual. And I make my own choices about my health. His support or not. I'm going to do it :)

      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.
