My newly renovated stats peeps:
Journey Start 8/2015
HW 355 unmitigated pounds
CW(as of 5/31) 321 pounds
ESD July 2018
Location: Ohio State University-Wexner Medical Center. Columbus Ohio
Bariatric Surgeon Bradley Needleman MD
I am re- entering them here because Bariatric Pal Beta app for Android refuses to retain these stats when I attempt to enter on my profile.
If Ken S or any other Internet Guru can repair this--- you have my unending gratitude.😛

@Pearldrop, being in Australia, has already reported back in . Indeed as I'm writing this it's 9:15 AM in Canberra and she's probably strolling around her surgical unit getting her "walkies" underway for Tuesday.

Tomorrow is surgery day. Freaking out today. Not even anxious anymore but so very scared. Trying to spend some time with my 3 year old granddaughter and finish the last minute cleaning. Prayers greatly appreciated.

You know what is SO NICE about this website/social network? We are the Can Do People, after a lifetime of put-downs, sneers and deprecations, we believe in each other. We understand, sympathasize, advise but most of all encourage each other. Maybe the fact I've lived so long makes me appreciate it more, but there are times I'd like to envelope you all in a giant bear hug and dance around. Thank you all for being there when I need you! Your Frustr8😛

      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.
