Just downloaded the app so here it goes! Would love to meet new friends and people going through the same experiences

Ive pretty much been overweight my entire life. At a young age i drooled over clothes that i dreamed would fit me some day. But it didn't happen. I decided to do the surgery because i see people succeed and i really hope to br in thier shoes someday.

I did my surgery on 20/03 .. some 5 days ago and already the pounds are falling off. To anyone who hasn't done it yet..

Really its not that bad!

Stay focused on your goal and motivate you're self!

Lots of luck to everyone

Thank you so much! Xx
I don't really have the support of my family and so i wished to get to know people who've already been on this journey

You know doctor hadn't given me any Protein Shakes or vitamins.. does any one know if this is normal?

Yep you buy your own! Welcome. I've found lots of Facebook groups too that are helpful. I too didn't have real life support and it's nice following others on this journey! Good luck! It's the best thing I ever did for myself!

      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.
