My father who died in 2000. And my best friend who died of cancer in 2006 at the age of 45. You never stop missing them.

My mom. I lost her when I was 17. I think she would be happy that I finally took control of weight and health.

I lost my mom 5 years ago and my best girlfriend 2 years ago. They were the most supportive people in my life. I would give anything for them to be here to support me and Celebrate my success. I know they would have been more proud of me than anyone❤️

My grandparents.

They were all super people with one clear priority.....the wellbeing of their families. I was truly blessed to have them all attend my wedding and my grandfathers each signed my wedding license as witnesses. I did not know then how big of an event that was going to be.

I miss each of them and try my best to pass along their values to my son....now a teenager. I guess that's one reason I enjoy grilling & cooking for him so much. In doing so, I'm able to pass along foods that they each made vital parts of our family meals.

He didn't know them directly but I try to ensure he knows all about them.

They would be happy that I've had the wls. They would be glad I'd taken steps to prolong my life and Lord willing....perhaps one day become a grandfather, too.

My mom for sure! She passed due to cancer about a year and a half ago. We both struggled with our weight and after she passed i decided that i wanted to live my life to its fullest since she didn't get to.

My grandmother and I were very close and she passed several years ago. Interestingly, when I came home from the hospital I had a dream that we were sipping iced tea on a porch, talking about my surgery. She gave me a big hug (she gave the best hugs) and told me how proud she was of me. I woke up with happy tears for that visit from heaven.

      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.
