For all of you out there that are on the fence let me tell you this!

You have two choices - Choice one is to stay the way you are and get sick from being fat and die young ............... Or you can make the decision and get a surgery which is tool to get you healthy!

My story

At the age of 51 i decided I had played hard eneogh, Hard core partying drinking girls and of course a miserable diet of garbage food and carbs! I had a issue with my heart and ended up at Naples Cardiac ward! Laying on the table not knowing if i would ever see my two kids again and who would get them thru college and such I made the decision that if i make it thru this Heart Issue I would get healthy. As you can see I am posting so i did make it thru it. I then had the sleeve which was a tool to begin the journey! With this site and getting your head in line, anyone can do it! If anyone needs any help I am paying forward what many here have helped me so PM and I will mentor and help any way I can!

You have to realize being overweight limits you and will kill you - It is not going to be a easy journey but the reward is well worth it -

Awesome Winston! You look great, and I imagine feel great too. I’m just one month behind you, about 8 months post op. My sleeve is the best decision I ever made!

I hear exactly what you're saying mate.

I'm only 35 but had alot of health issues prior to surgery.

Did alot of parties and alcohol for years myself but gave that up for a new life and 8.5 months later with the bypass completely turned my life around as well.. In maintenance now

Well done.

      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.
