I am so excited! I just had my initial meeting with Dr. and team, am set up with surgery on the 17 of March, and I can not wait. My head is spinning, I have been thinking about this for some time and it just seemed to come together so quickly once I became determined to do this (that was at the end of this January). I actually got my surgery call last Friday and they wanted to set the surgery up for this Friday! Whew! I had to wait for spring break though, so I wouldn't miss much school. Any words of wisdom or advice will be welcome. Hope everyone is doing well and that it goes this easy for everyone else.

I have my date for this friday the 4th. I think I am more anxious than excited. I am dreading the recovery time, the soreness, but I am excited at the prospect of loosing the weight and getting my life back.

Best of luck with your surgery. Let us all know how it goes.

I will be thinking about you and hoping that the recovery goes well and that you aren't too sore. I feel that I have spent the last 20 years of my life overweight and am ready to make a change and hopefully this will be the tool that I am most successful with. I hope the same for you and all of us who are in this forum.

      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.
