FYI, The pre op diet helped me taper off on my food intake and was easier for me because i knew that i would not be able eat hardly anything for a few weeks post op.
I pray that those of you that don't have pre op liquid diets don't have too hard of a time eating nothing, all of a sudden.
The good news is that you may not be hungry at all post op. I was not hungry for a few days and gradually felt like my body was trying to tell me i needed to eat something to survive even though i was not hungry.
Another thing i like about the sleeve is that now when I feel like i am really hungry (starving), just a little bit of food satisfies me.

Yup good luck everyone...mine is on Friday

So, just because, I decided to call my insurance company to check status on pre-cert. I was expecting them to say we just got it, it should take 5-10 days or something like that. Instead the person on the other line said " it's been approved" and she even read what I was approved for and gave me authorization number! It was that simple...and I was so worried of not getting approved! New me here I come!

Just 14 days till the big day!

25 days till my life starts anew!

I think it is just something we have to accept. People who have not/are not having WLS just don't understand. They have not lived our lives and don't realize it is our final straw.
People who are obese and make those comments are, in my opinion, jealous of the fact that we took the final step. Maybe they can't afford the surgery or their insurance doesn't cover it, or they are not ready to commit to such a drastic measure. Normal weight people think we can just pull away from the table and lose weight without help. They may be right, but I wouldn't have been gaining and losing weight for 37 years if that were the case. They definitely don't undersstand. Don't get me wrong, I love my normal weight friends and family - most of them are - but they are in a different boat!
People want to see others fail, because it makes them look better. Not saying it's right or wrong, just the way it is. Well, ok, it is wrong. But we cannot control what others think. Hopefully, we all made this decision for OUR lives and OUR health. I, for one, really don't care if I am the topic of gossip. And if I fail, I've been there, before, too. My true supporters will stand by me and help me along the way, no matter what. The ones who want to see me fail have bigger issues than I do and I don't really need them in my life!

Kewl! My surgery date is also Sept 26!

Congrats!
