Congrats!!!:huh2: Let me know how the recovery portion goes. After I get my surgery I want to take a 3-4 days and get through the pain and return to work. I was just approved by my insurance company to get the surgery. I will be going to see my surgeon tomorrow. Dr. Albert Spaw, Nashville, TN. for the consultation, paperwork, and to schedule the surgery. I'm very excited and I hope to be scheduled for November 17.:)

Good luck with your surgery tomorrow. I am having mine on Wednesday and am just about the same weight as you. I am new to this as well and I think that it's so great to have other people out there for support. It is amazing how many people out there are so supportive of others.

      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.
