I am excited and of course nervous!

I have finished my classes and feel completely educated. I read everything on here too. I am meeting with someone this Friday and she had surgery last year and has her Tummy Tuck on the 30th. I plan to ask tons of questions about both!

Caressa,

You and I are close in height and close in starting weight. I have been going back and forth on my end goal. 126 is the lowest on the BMI charts for healthy weight range. I honestly don't remember weighing that since high school. Can you share how you picked your goal? My surgeon said she will get me to 180 and she felt 140 was too thin for me. After going through all this... I want to be slim. Slim is a term that I am very interested in!

      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.
