Im not so young hahah. I just turned 28 on june 9. So you beat me to it. One of my friends that got it she is 22.

I think that its good having it done younger because I believe that a younger person is healthier than someone older because maybe not all have other health issues. (not saying young people dont) but i think its not that common.

I agree it’s easier on younger people. I’ve been thinking about it since I was 18, maybe even before. I finished all of my requirements over a year ago and was supposed to have the surgery last year but I chickened out. I’m glad I’m finally going through with it this summer. I’m nervous to go back to college in August though since I’m not having surgery until July and my college is 12 hours away from home.

Anyone is entitled to getting the surgery as long as the doctors approves of it and if its something that you really want. Because have this surgery its like being reborn all over again.. It will be a journey

      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.
