Technically, if you tell someone..."I'm losing weight because I've changed the way I eat", you're telling the truth. You should be able to say it with confidence and KNOW that's why you are losing weight. The tool you have is your business.

I could also use a buddy! My egd is August 6 and sleeve August 19. I'm no spring chicken (60) but admire those of you who are changing your life at an earlier age! I'm excited and nervous. Since it took since January to get insurance approval some of my family have known I was considering surgery but few know I have a date set. I have support from my husband but like most of you, our families are worried about our health and/or have their own agendas.

Hi! my surgery is tomorrow as well! I have only told immediate family members, so my support group is limited. Where are you from? I'm from the Houston TX area.

I'm from The Woodlands and just had my surgery on July 15th! How are you doing?

      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.
