May July dawn and be beautiful for all of you, you will have a beautiful month for surgery and recover in. AND I am excited for YOU ALL as you start on your Post Surgery journey. You may have rough starts but things quickly realign, a little less discomfort daily, a little more energy returning, for Major Surgery is just that, MAJOR , and for a while you feel the world🌎 wobbling on its axis but things smooth out, get better and better. And you will feel proud of YOU, for you met the challenge and prevailed. And no matter if you have scars, bruises and dings to your chassis, you are a Strong Survivor! So raise your clenched fist high, you have the true power within!

@Frustr8 - you always say such nice, encouraging things. You are one of my favorite ppl on here!!

I am a couple days away from 4 months post op. Best thing I have ever done for myself. The changes physically, mentally and in my health in 4 short months is nothing short of amazing. I wish you all the best and a quick healing. There will be some tough spots but keep looking ahead. It will all pass. Keep us posted!

My surgery is scheduled for noon tomorrow! Feeling pretty positive, and I've been listening to the audio book of Brene Brown's "Daring Greatly", but I'm definitely getting some pre-surgery jitters too!

Great book! A new door opening and a new life on the other side! Best wishes!

      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.
