I'd have to hurt someone of they try that with me..lol I have little "time until" tickers on my phone. Time until last pcp visit, time until surgeon visit to submit to insurance etc.... So, yeah, I'm a lil anxious! Good luck. Can't wait to follow along and see how it goes for you!

I have major thyroid issues which is making it very hard for me to lose at all. I'm scared because my insurance denies if u are even a pound over your starting weight during the process so I'm basically just trying not to gain at this point. I was always heavy, but active until my thyroid went crazy. Now I'm too tired for anything, it sucks! I went from hiking and kayaking to couch sitting and channel surfing....lol

Damn sorry to hear that, my main issue is my sleep apnea, causes me to feel tired all the time, literally exhausted. Its so frustrating, i have a cpap that i stopped using due to feeling suffocated. I can't even sleep in the same room as my baby, she wakes up scared because of my snoring. So im in the couch, soo i am looking forward to get down in weight and being able to breath better when i sleep.

I have sleep apnea and the dreaded c pap also. I don't wear mine because I'm a side sleeper and it slips off and shoots air in my eyes and makes noise and drives me insane. Not to mention the marks it leaves on my face to like 2 hours after I wake up. I feel like Hannibal lecter which is such an attractive look. My bf is supportive but works swing shift. 7 days of each of the 3 shifts with 2 days off between, so I end up on the couch half the time too... #fatlife

The hardest part of this journey so far is the wait. I have a tentative date in July but still have to go through the approval process after my 90 days. I was recently diagnosed with sleep apnia and get my machine this week. i'm a couch sleeper as well but it is because of back issues. I can no longer lay down to sleep without severe pain. I sleep in the sitting position now. I'm hoping the weight loss will help some with that.

I sleep sitting down also, horrible for circulation. Sometimes i fall asleep laying down and wake up sitting up. It sucks

      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.
