New here! Just wanted to say Hey!



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone! I've been looking around on BP for a while now and I'm so excited to finally make my account and join you all in this journey. My first consultation appointment is next Friday and I have been dying for time to go faster so I can get started on everything.

A little back story.

I just recently turned 24, and I have struggled with obesity as long as I can remember. I have tried so many different diets and weight loss programs but nothing has really helped me long term. I lost some doing weight watchers, working out in the gym, and trying to eat healthy but I always failed to keep it off. I have been through a lot because of my weight and it's time for me to be the person I always knew I could be.

So I'm ready to be on the losers bench with all you sleevers!

hi back at ya and welcome!! :rolleyes:

never understand why "they" call it the losers bench

it should be called the winners bench!!

get ready for the ride of a life time

follow all the many rules

determination, patience are key

you'll be a success

the sleeve is the best (any WLS is great)

i am biased because i have had and love the sleeve for almost 5 years

good luck

      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?

      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.
