I'm from Virginia too! 40 miles south of Richmond. I'm 30 but only just. I'm right in the middle of my insurance six month wait so I'm looking at December or January for surgery (What a lovely present. Major life changing surgery.)

Has anyone considered blogging about their journey? I've always found writing to be a great outlet, especially blogging, since it has the potential to reach others who can relate. I was thinking about maybe vlogging as well?

My goal is too provide a straight-forward, blunt look at the good, the bad and the ugly of this process. Let me know if you are doing something similar! Here's a shameless plug for my first entry. :)

Also, if anyone else is interested in joining the Facebook group specifically for our age group (late teens and early thirties also welcome), just shoot me a message!

I'm 25... But I had my surgery when I was 24 years old. To be honest I spent my 25 birthday recovering from surgery. I would love to be in the blog group on FB. I am not sure how to send a personal message with my e-mail address. Could someone help me. Thanks!

      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.
