Since I was about 10 I was put from hospital to hospital from program to program all because of some stupid person now I've got the strength to move past it when I was about 23 years of age or 24 years of age I was diagnosed with a severe mental illness caused by borderline personality disorder it affects my life very much I have to do special therapy for the BPD it's called DBT I struggled it for a long time moving from place to place Hospital the hospital state to state couldn't get my life on the control and I finally said I'm going to make one more move I moved back to Florida to live with my family I lived with my mother for about nine months it was just how we did not get along we didn't talk we argued we didn't communicate very well and we just constantly fought and I didn't like her boyfriend so I moved out I done moved to Melbourne Florida with a girl that did a lot of drugs and was mean to me constantly I finally got fed up and move out I moved Merritt Island Florida in the hood for my first apartment my my boyfriend at the time now husband he said he wouldn't leave me alone and I didn't want him to so we moved in together and started dating he's been at my side for the past almost 4 years about a year-and-a-half ago I got involved with the Sebastian River Medical Center Weight Loss Center and they've been a great support they're helping me to get in control of my eating I have struggled with eating most of my life actually all my life as far as I can remember I've always been heavy I've never been under 200 lb when I was a kid I was but that doesn't count I mean like really young I wonderful support system I friends and family and Framily they are sticking behind me no matter what I have my surgery is in about 8 weeks I'm really nervous I'm 31 married no children two cats a house car a loving husband great family great friends I think it's about time I did this it's time to get my weight under control it's time to have a new life I deserve it and I hope my husband sticks by me he said you got a big thumbs up there thank you for listening sayonara

      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.
