Surgery tomorrow and I’m overwhelmed with emotions. Praying everything goes as planned, my doctor told me that I was one of his healthiest patients besides the obesity so I’m taking that as a good sign. Here’s to the journey ahead😁

Being healthy pre op is a great sign that everything will go just as it should.

Soon the surgery will be behind you and you will start the greatest journey of your life.

Good luck and please post when you are able to do so.

I'm glad you decided to do this while you're still "healthy". That was my motivation. Do it while I was still "just" fat... especially with my family history.

Glad to hear that things are going well for you. I’m just a couple of weeks ahead of you. Once the weight started coming off for me, it was very validating and makes everything a bit easier. Wishing you a quick recovery.

      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.
