I just made the mistake of doing this alone, with very little support and now I feel lonely and I'm doing good. I'm down 32 pounds since surgery but my emotions are crazy.

Emotionally it is a roller coaster ride. 32 lbs is amazing. Are you single? If so, and I say this in a very serious, supportive tone... take your new you for a new ride on Tinder and see how your responses are. That always cheered me up. If your not single, its still fun to see if you can make your spouse jealous. When they become jealous, you then know that you have done something right.

Lol I was in a three year relationship but we broke up about ten days before my surgery, I'm not really ready for attention lol I want to focus on myself! I went back to work this week and that has helped, getting dressed up feels good!

Just wait until clothes start to not fit and be really loose. It is great but also annoying. This is a sign of progress.

      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.
