I'll turn 23 in about two weeks and should be getting sleeved in about six (pending insurance clearance). I've been overweight since I was 5. I don't want to spend my twenties feeling held back by my weight like I've spent the rest of my life. Way to go for making the decision!

Hi there! I'm 27, recently engaged and 2 weeks post op! :) I am so happy I did it while young, it's easier for us to bounce back and live a normal healthy rest of our lives. I just can't wait to look awesome in my wedding dress!! Good luck to you. The first two weeks are the hardest (my opinion) but it's so worth it. I'm 23lbs down already. Worth every single ounce of frustration!!

      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.
