My name's Cheyenne, I am 22 and I had gastric bypass surgery on September 2nd of last year and it was the best thing to ever happen to me.

As a child, I struggled with anxiety, depression and stress as well as surfing from all from all three eating disorders and schizophrenia.

By the age of 20, I was 338+ pounds, diabetic, suffered from acid reflux, fibromyalgia, had breathing problems and had a really bad and heavy irregular period.

I knew I had to make a change, I knew that if I didn't do something, I'd die and never get to make my life dreams a reality so, after doing some serious research, I signed up for gastric bypass with Dr.Daniel Cronk of Methodist Hospital in Omaha, Nebraska.

It took a year to get it done with all the medicaid and rejection but, finally, on September 2nd, 2015 at 1:30, I went in as 311 pounds for surgery and so far I have lost 58 pounds and I am set for 125 pounds.

I'd never thought I'd see myself here, I never thought I'd be alive at this point in my life. Its truly amazing.

      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.
