I haven't told anyone apart from BF, parents, sister and kids so I can't join any Facebook groups or instagrammers as I don't intend to share my WLS until I'm good and ready. Has anyone else decided not to share their journey?? Everyone I told is wholly against me doing this so it's no wonder I'm not bothering to tell anyone.

I'm keeping mine relatively quiet. Not lying, but not advertising since I got some negative reactions as well. Someone started a FaceBook group that doesn't reference "Bariatric" or anything. It's closed but not secret, so it's not totally foolproof in terms of privacy. If someone is really nosy, they might ask you or try to join themselves. It's called "March 2017 Support and Advice Group" I think, check it out and join if you think it's vague enough :)

March 23rd I'm headed to Mexico alone, going to the OCC, I'm excited ,but not overly nervous, I've been researching for over a year & feel pretty confident! Only myself and my husband know, my kids don't know but they are younger. This is my 2nd chance, and I'm doing everything right!

      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.
