if they say its the easy way out tell them to jump off the bridge this is anything but easy. I not only have to work as hard as the person doing exercise but im doing it on less fuel. If they say it happens quicker that might be true but i put my body and soul through trauma to better my circumstances if im a "cheater" for that then so be it but i make cheating look good. Hello beautiful people. I refuse to be ashame for doing this i say it proudly cause the results are speaking for themselves

I agree wholeheartedly. There is NOTHING easy about it. And I never got the idea that a surgical solution to a medical problem is the "easy way out". If I had a bad knee, would having surgery on it be taking the "easy way out"? Should I just "power through" the pain? Of course not!

You already made the first steps your time will come but i will say what most people wont enjoy some of those foods while you still can but dont over indulge i miss some of the flavors. But i wouldnt take the surgery back for anything

Once upon a time I was 1 of those people that called it "the easy way" after jumping through all the hoops this past year with all the pre-testing stuff.. Then actually going through the surgery(being opened up because laproscopic didn't work because of mesh) developing an infection 2 weeks out and ending up back in the hospital for 4 more days.. And still have a wound vac on(getting off tomorrow).. I'm 6weeks out.. Hell no this isn't the easy way out! But I'd do it again and I wish I had done it sooner

      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.
