Wow, best of luck to you. Sounds like you are ready. You really do need to be prepared and a lot of people do not realize that. You have to mentally be ready to let go of some bad habits from years and years. The tradeoff is so worth it! We are here, ask and we will comment and get you ready. My first advice is always measure NOW. There will be times when you do not feel like you are losing and you need to keep up wiht what your measurements are. It will be a huge help in the future. Trust me. Do it now and then every month on the same day, but onloy once a month! I kept a log and it wa awesome to have. Second DO EXACTLY WHAT THE DOCTOR SAYS, do not cheat, do not fudge, do not try stuff unless the doctor tells you. They know what they are doing and it is what you pay them for so listen and follow. I promise nothing taste as good as your health feels. You will see! So let us hear back from you soon. Best of luck to you!!

Congratulations! I'm scheduled for May 11 and I am so excited. My family doesn't understand all the excitement. I think that's only something that

we understand. Let's keep in touch!

Waiting five years - what determination. I can only imagine how excited you must be. I just started on this website, so I just keep poking around, but there seems to be alot to be shared and learned. Good Luck to you. I'm scheduled for the 11th. Keep in touch.

      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.
