And I ladies have you all beat on the bad side. I'm 5ft8in and 323 lbs, this means I was nearly a 100 lbs dopeyer until I realized Hey I'm not going to,lose this weight quicker and easier than surgery, better see a doctor about this! I'm reading all your posts to learn more practical advice about what kinds taste okay, what ones taste like the bottom of a bird cage or litter box. What ones are overpriced and what ones I best can afford.? I did not ,pick the wealthiest portion of my,life to go off looking for a magic bullet to get rid of this weight. And guess what? Even if I found one the price and Donald Trump wouldn't let me fire a gun.[emoji20]

Oh I was thinking about the after the surgery,lol. 7 days prior to my surgery I'm on a Liquid Protein diet which is similar to stage 2. After the surgery I go to clear liquid diet. The one thing I struggle with is eating and drinking...at the same time. Its such a hard habit to break.

I struggle with that too I always have to have my drink next to me..im always thirsty.
I think that one will be hard for me to adjust to and remembering not to gulp down my drinks.< br>

When I eat, I don't prepare a drink. It's the only way I avoid taking a sip.

I’m getting the sleeve also. I’m very nervous no one in my family really knows. I’m actually scared to tell anyone. I just told my fiancé he was against it at 1st until I told him my current weight.

Only my daughters husband and parents know And I made them swear to not tell..Im not ashamed or anything I just dont want the world knowing my business while Im on my journey..My job puts me in the spotlight and I already have to answer to alot of people about different things but my health wont be one of them..
I hope your fiance will be supportive of your decision I do think it helps having a supportive partner.
I told my husband he will have to eat his meals out when I start my clear liqs..night time eating has always been my pit fall so I know Its going to be hard but doable..

My immediate family and my co-workers are aware of my surgery. I don't care who knows but what I dislike are the people who say, why don't you hire a trainer, join the gym, or go running...instead of the surgery. Duh...done all those things. My body..my choice..darn it [emoji16]

      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.
