I have been lucky and every single person that knows has been supportive. Her being morbidly obese with really high blood pressure is just a stroke or heart attack waiting to happen. How can she do that to her family???? At least having surgery gives you a chance at a long healthy life. I can't stand rude a$$ people. She needs to keep her mouth shut.

You will be so happy when it is all said and done :)

Well, no one can make you have the surgery, so you can still ditch it until the last day if it came down to it. The sooner you get his figured out the better though, and I think there might be some financial penalties if you *were* to dtich this at the last minute.

I have gone ahead and done it. It's not a small or easy thing though. However, if you have red flags of health problems looming in your future, then the risks of not having the sleeve gastrectomy can be greater than the risks of having it - that was my own personal conclusion for me.

      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.
