Hey guys,

My name is Angelica and I'm 21 years old. My height is 5'5 and I weigh 240. I am so excited to say that my surgery will be this upcoming Wednesday (June 22). Can I please get any tips, advice, and stories? I would truly appreciate it! Thanks in advance!

Good luck on your surgery. Make sure that you have a good before photo, so that you will have something to compare it with after surgery. Many people do not see the amount of weight they lose, because we blind ourselves to our obesity. So when the weight comes off, we have no comparison. Don't rely on the photos taken by the surgeons office. Have your own.

Me too! My family just went out to eat and even though I chose to do this, I feel like clawing their eyes out of hunger lol.

Mine is the 30 and the pre-op diet it's killing 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.
