I believe you made the best decision in your life. your still early in your journey so you have to get rid of that mindset. Stop looking at all the things you cant have. be creative when it comes to preparing meals with the foods you can have. also never compare your journey to someone's else especially Oprah lol. Stay encouraged its all uphill from here

So 7 day preoperative liquid diet started yesterday and it is killing me... Protein shakes, yogurt, broth and Water and I'm still hungry. Procedure is set for Thursday!.... Yikes. Push through team! C

Got approved and got my surgery date3/27/17 Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hello folks, I am new and so excited to have a way to connect to others going through the same thing as me. I had my consultation with my surgeon on 12/30/16 and didn't get an appointment with my nutritionist until 1/19/17. So far I have had my blood work completed and sent to the surgeon, my gastroenterologist consultation is 3/16/17 and my sleep study appointment is next week. I have yet to set up my psychologist/psychiatric appointment. I feel like the actions of having weight loss surgery are so far away but I know that it will get her before I know it. Q: Do you need both a psychiatric and psychological approval? I have this feeling that I need both but I'm not sure. I am so excited for to next months as I prepare for surgery. I look forward to connecting with you and hearing about your journeys! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

@mylighthouse you were so so helpful!! Thank you!! I'm gonna try and choke down that protein drink! Hahaha!! I know it's important but I just can't stomach it. I was hoping I could get it from my food sources alone but just like you said, I don't think I'm eating all 60 grams. [emoji20] I'm gonna try & up my fluids to the 64+ & get that protein shake down whether I like it or not. Hahaha! Thank you! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
