Good Luck, I have a 17 year old and have decided to wait till after he graduates next year to date. Not that I have had anyone interested lol I live in a small town and I kind of have this feeling if you were not interested before I'm not interested now.

Hi Skinny. Congrats on your hard work! My journey is just beginning. I have an appointment with Dr. Scarborough March 2. Nervous but excited! It's like I'm waiting for my new life to begin! Any advise for the nervous newbie?

Hi Ramona, just let go all your fears. Never been happier. Dr. Scarborough is fantastic and I recommend him to everyone. Just get in your mind that you must follow everything they tell you to do. Exercise is the key. I starter walking 30 minute the day I came back from the hospital and last week I ran my first 5K. Keep a diary of everything you eat (myfitnesspal.com), eat slowly, stick to your Vitamin regiment, buy a fitbit (highly recommended) and be patient. Keep positive and the good will come soon!

I love Houston! Congratulations on your weight loss, you should try one of the piano bars downtown. They are a fun time and the crowd is older than college aged.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
