Good Luck, I'm sure everything will be A-Okay. I just registered and have my first Dr. Appointment the 22nd and you are going in for Surgery then. How long did it take from your first Dr. Appt until your Surgery date if you don't mind my asking?

BTW it's only natural to be scared, it's a TOTAL change of lifestyle. One for the better.

Good for you. I hope to be right behind you. If you were not nervous I would be worried.

Thanks less than 24 hours to the beginning of a new me

Just think maybe by Christmas I could shop in the regular store and cross my legs

Nervous, happy, excited

I have been going to NYU since last summer, I decided to have the surgery in March of this year and lucky since I have so many docs ( for my neuropathy, asthma and other chemo related side effects I see at least one doc a month so getting the 6 months was no problem.

I had to take 2 months off for a broken foot (april 1 triped over my feet)

And was 6 pounds too light for the BMI of 40 that Blue Cross Blue Shield requires so lucky I have mild sleep apena…once NYU could say I had sleep apean I was approved within 2 days and had a surgery date in three weeks

It has been a long journey but now it’s too fast

      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.
