I started my journey back in July of this year! I prayed so hard to make sure that I was making the right decision. And after I talked with my doctor and my family, I decided that this was the right thing for me. My surgery is scheduled for September 20, 2016 and I am so excited, but a little nervous too. I have been told that this is normal.

Nerves are definitely normal, along with alternating bouts of euphoria and second thoughts. It's all part of the journey.

Welcome and best wishes as you begin yours. ????

Yes nerves are normal. You are starting your journey and you know some of the things about it but there is still the fear of the unknown. Can I ask you which surgery have you decided on? Everything that you do to get where you are and beyond I can tell you IT IS SO WORTH IT!! Good Luck I hope to follow you thru 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.
