Just finished my 6 months doctor supervised, had paperwork sent today and waiting for approval :biggrin2:

I have soooo struggled with weight all of my life which was compounded by the fact that my mother and the whole side of her family is small. My dad's side of the family is the large side. I will never be little, but I can be smaller and I love this group.

Hello all,

My name is Venus

From/Live in Wisconsin

Single, in a relationship with a supportive boyfriend

One beautiful 3 year old (will be 4 on 8/25) but if you ask him, he's 110. (don't ask)

Work in the Accounting field

Attending college, will sit for CPA after graduation May '09

Ready to get back to that b-ball weight, my son loves quite a few sports already, and he's almost 4 feet tall already, so I know he's going to be very active. I would love to be able to play around with him, no matter what the sport is.

Hello Ladies...

My name is Val

I was born and raised in Chattanooga, TN (on the TN/GA border)

I've been married 7 years (not all happy):thumbup:

I have an 11 year old son:thumbup:

I have been struggling with my weight since I added the freshman 15 in college:cursing:

I am so happy that I found this forum. I didn't realize that there was so much support out there at all, much less anything with sistas.

I have only told my husband and son about the surgery. I am just waiting on insurance.:wink2:

Congrats to all of you for deciding to take care of you!:thumbup:

      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.
