I read that this morning and feared that I would feel the same way. Only time will tell...

i think if i had had this done at 25 or so i would be dealing with the same thing. now that i am older, have had health complications and missed out on so many things in life (including pregnancy), i look at the results so different, like it is almost another chance at life. for all of you who are so young, i am so happy for you, that you will have this chance at a normal, healthy life. we can all do this!!!

I saw this on Sunday too. There certainly is some headwork that needs to be done with a massive weight loss for most people. And, some people need to do more than others. I am incredibly thankful for the support network I have in my family and friends, and this forum.

I hope that the secret poster finds some support and peace and learns to enjoy the new life she has been given in time.

It has a fat woman with face cut out and it says "I am 27 years old, 2 years ago I had surgery to lose 150lbs. I am thin & beautiful now, but in my head I still feel morbidly obese. I CAN NO LONGER HIDE BEHIND MYSELF.And I'm scared..."

People send in post cards that show a secret. Some of them are quite clever.

This one makes me sad though.

The site only posts that week, and the week before. They update every Sunday. I bought all the books, they're really artsy fartsy looking books,so they look nice on the coffee table... but I love reading them.

      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.
