Hahaha my thought exactly. I love the 4th of July so much. So this year in my mind, the Fireworks are going to be in celebration of my life changing! I am getting so excited for the surgery and a little nervous for the post-op. I want so badly to succeed at weightloss this time!

Well we will be in it together!

That is exactly what I told my husband!! We always host a very large party and he asked if I thought it would be too much with surgery the next day.... I said, "Heck no it isn't, I am celebrating my life changing!" I nervous for surgery but, excited for my new life of a healthier me!!

Great minds think so much alike. Can I private message you and maybe we can keep in contact more directly since we are going to be surgery day buddies!

Hey! I'm working on getting my pre-op paperwork done. I've got similar stats like you. I'm a little taller though. I'd love to see your progress and learn about your journey!!!

      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.
