I just want to personally thank everyone who has joined this group, when I made it I never really thought people would actually join, to be honest after having it for a few hours and nobody joining I was contemplating deleting it and then you all started to respond and for that I am very grateful. I like many of you are still pretty new to this site and for days I just skimmed through everything never writing or commenting on anything and then finally I decided to just give it a shot, see what happened and now I think I'm posting to much! Haha, I'm so happy to the people I've met that I now talk to on a normal basis and whether you have support in your real life or not, you all who joined this group will always have an online support here, even if down the road you decide not to use this site as much or maybe even at all if you ever have a question or need to vent or anything at all, I hope that we will all always been here for that! At 23 years old I don't have many people in my life that I've confided to about my surgery, my family knows of course and my best friends know but its very hard to tell other people in my life especially my age cause most of them just look at you with the what the *beep* look cause they don't understand, especially when they have been skinny and look great their whole life, nor do I know anybody who has had this surgery besides my mom and that was 13 years ago so things have kinda changed haha so I really am so grateful for this and I can't wait to go on this journey together! I may have started this group but it is definitely not my group it is OUR group! So always feel free to post whatever! So thank you all, I know its going to be a great journey to a better us!

      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.
