I know I'm a little late. But this sounds like something I need to do. I am in if it's not too late.

Topic: i am new to this group
I am new to this group. I need help to restart, I have gained 40 to 50 of my pounds back. I have gotten depressed and into a funk because of medical issues I have. Parahypothyroidism and paget's disease. My lab results are all coming back to normal. I need to get refocused and back on track. I think I need an accountability partner.

I am doing OK . Not great but OK! Lol. Some days are good then others I want to rip mg hair out I'm so hungry. My husband is incredible, he is doing the diet with me. I can't believe I am only 3 days away! Good luck I hope you get a quick approval from the insurance company. :)

I hope you are doing great!!  I am just waiting on the approval from the insurance company and then the surgery schedule date.  Keep your spirits high and I would love to be on your journey with you.  Life is worth living.  I have waited too many years to finally take this step but I am so glad that I am almost there.  Your son and hubby will be so glad you are doing this for you.  Please keep us posted on how you are doing.

Thank you Shelley! I am drinking the Designer Whey. It is not as sweet tasting as the other protein shakes I found. Tomorrow it will be a week on the diet and I won't lie I am really hungry but it is not as bad as I thought it was going to be. I went to my support group meeting a few nights ago and actually found out I could double what I was drinking with the protein shakes. Good luck to you! I am here if you ever need to talk or have a question. :)

good luck to you! I am just starting the journey and have not received by surgery date yet. I will have to do the 2 week pre-op liquid diet and am nervous about it. Are you using a specific protein shake? My surgical group is recommending their product but I am wondering if other people have preferences for other brands?

I am excited for you. Hang in there. I will be in your "shoes" in a couple months :)

I am so worried that this 2 week pre-op diet is going to kick my butt. I have been a moody, cranky, miserable person ever since I started this journey a few months ago. I know it is only a few weeks and it's necessary for surgery but my 16 month old son and my husband are going to run for the hills. I can't even stand being around me when I'm hungry. The "Snickers" commercials of "your not yourself when your hungry" is sooo me! Wish me luck!
