Its Close ! At least you know that. The last few weeks leading up to surgery are painful emotionally , at least they were for me, I am NOT a patient person . But hang in there, It will be here before you know it ! Next yr you will be a whole new you on the way to a whole new life !!!

thanks Mindy,

I know its Close..... oh I can feel it. I am truely thinking about what I am going to look like a year from now. As I just found out my lil brother is going to propose to his girlfriend, so I want to look healthy and if I am asked to be in the wedding party, I want it not to look the big one in the dress. I am so ready for this.

Thanks again!

Before I had surgery , I was asked to be in my friends wedding and I told her no because I was so big , I did not want to be the biggest one , the dresses were NOT flattering to boot.

It was sad for me to tell her no . But I understand !

      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.
