GM. I will look for it. I would love to join... it's nice to be able to talk about it. I really haven't told anyone what I'm doing. Is that wrong?

Hey can you see if I joined the group. It would nice to be able to talk to others who are having some of the same feelings as me and are having the surgery around the time I am. I haven't told anyone but my family and I need people positive people to talk to about this. Thanks

@@wilson06 Having mixed feelings is very very normal! I had them for sure. But now 6 months after my surgery I can say this is absolutely the best thing I have ever done for myself!! My starting weight was 252 pounds and as of this morning I weighed 159.8.....I am now less than 10 pounds from my goal! I haven't had any complications, and not one minute of regret.

You will do great! I wish you the very best!

      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.
