Oh my Lord 106 lbs!!!! You rock!!!!!!!

This is so inspiring! I was just getting a little down on myself today, thinking why do I have to cut away 80% of my stomach to control my weight/health. How I've failed at this weight loss thing so many times. I'm also thinking what if I die - should I do this?! I'm getting scared!

But the odds are on my side and I know in the long run it will be worth it! Deep breaths!

Most of us have those same thoughts. And honestly I still worry about if I'm going to lose more if this stall is it for me. I really didn't tell people I was having surgery because I was ashamed I couldn't lose the weight myself. But one thing I can say is better now than never. Who cares how you lose it or how you gained it as long as you do your best moving forward.

      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.
