Hi everyone! I'm new here. I recently decided that weight loss surgery is the best choice for me. In my Quest in finding as much as info as possible I came across this forum. Everyone seems so nice and positive as well as full of information.

I recently contacted a surgeon who mailed me a questionerre I had to fill out and they will contact me with an appointment once the doctor has looked over my info. It feels like its taking forever! I just want to get the ball rolling.

I look forward to hearing everyone's story.

Hi ladies, You're right about this forum, a lot of good people with great advice. MIS73 being one of them.

I'm at the end of my 6mths insurance required diet and hope to be banded in Sept. Been following LBT all that time and feel I have gotten a great education. Good Luck!

Welcome! I'm new too! Today is the first day of my Pre-Op Diet and I am feeling hopeful! Also, check out Missy's profile who posted right above me! VERY inspirational! She has lost 136 pounds since January! OMGooooodness......That is AwEsOmE!!

I've "met" some really wonderful and insightful people on this website - I'm very grateful for their inspiration and encouragement and I have set an intention to be as much of a blessing to others, as I learn and experience more and am able to share any words of wisdom. As of right now, I'm sorta in Kindergarten (lol) :P

      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.
