I'm from Northern MS, about 15 miles from tupelo. I am still going back and forth on whether to get the surgery done, one day l'm ready to do it and then the next I'm like there's no way I can do this. I am done with all my preop appt's am now just trying to get myself talked into this, I'm just scared if I will be able to do this but if I don't I don't know what's left because I can't loose on my own, I need help and thats what I feel the surgery will be for me. So that's my story, thanks for your time :D :) .

Hey @@Heidijenn I think you've probably already answered your question. I just think fear is trying to take over. Think 6 months down the road, if you had the surgery, how do you think you'd feel? If you didn't have the surgery how do you think you'd feel?

      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.
