Avoiding telling any friends about it. I did a drastic weight loss program and lost 65lbs and threw myself into a thyroid issue that I couldn't recover from. Now I have no thyroid and gained all back with more. So I want this to work. I don't think I ever will tell them. Just so They don't poo poo it. Feel like they will see how hard I work. So they will just be supportive. Told family to tell them I'm having Gallbladder out. will be truth!

So happy to have found this site, and especially each of you! I have just started this process and I'm praying I am in June, or July. Maybe that's overly optimistic but my insurance and the bariatric hospital in my town each seem really efficient. I have a 37 BMI so I will have to have a diagnosed comorbidity to qualify for the surgery. Finger crossed that goes smoothly. And fingers crossed that each of you have a healthy journey too!!!

      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.
