Sitting at the beach, it's a beautiful day, 70's and not a cloud in the sky! Just sitting here thinking about how great I feel at 4 weeks out. This was absolutely the best decision for me! Loving my life right now!

It gets so much easier!! The first couple weeks are rough but after that it's amazing! I wish I didn't wait until I was 44 to get this done. I feel amazing... body and mind!

Very inspirational and so true. It gets better and better, and you no longer feel like your just an observer, watching your life go by, but like you are truly living and being an active participant in your life! A wonderful decision indeed!

I'm feeling so blah and major regret 1 week and 2 days out. I'm hungry, have heartburn, and still exhausted. Still pulling pain pretty bad. I know you said first few weeks were rough but now ur feeling great. When was the turning point and what was rough for you? Trying to cope with my decision. Thank u!! Revisited you post cause it made me feel better and look to the future.

      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.
