Oh my maybe Ancestry. Com isn't the zHoly Trail everbody thought they once were. Although many yearn to know if their ethnicity was, if they have my DNA forever could it be used to exclude me from employment at a future date? Sounds pretty Brave New World to me, and I find that scary.

Grail. not Trail, they may rhyme but they are vastly different things.

SO MANY posts on this forum begin with, "Am I the only one who....?"

No matter how that question ends, it starts with the fallacy that we are alone in this world. You are NOT alone.

Did I have doubt about whether this surgery would work for me? Hell yes! I've never met a WLS patient who didn't have doubts at some point or another.

You're at the toughest, most fearful part of your journey. But here's the good news: Just ahead there's a fork in the road. You're going to have WLS & things are going to change for you. That's super exciting! And we'll be with you every step!

Good luck with your surgery. Stick around in the POST surgery forum & help others along their journey too!

You are not alone.

I am just the opposite, I weigh myself daily to keep on track. 1 year out, down 85.5 lbs. Goal was 120, I am down to 115lbs at 5'2". Couldn't be any happier [emoji4]

That’s awesome. You must’ve started at a lower weight? I’m 5’2 140.. goal is 120.. started at 250 / ten months ago. But I’m now on plateau .. needing to push harder to get down.

They also become the sole proprietor and possessor of the genetic material once transferred to them, no thanks...

      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.
