So I had to report and maybe give you guys a laugh. Went to the seminar and I got there 15 minutes late due to work, so I snuck in and took a seat in the back. Coming to the decision to do this was hard for me. The only people I want to know are my parents and husband. Maybe later I will want to tell others but for now that's it. So the humor is I'm sitting their listening to the dr and I get to looking at the back of this lady and it hits me- holy crap it's my husbands aunt and uncle. So now I start squirming. I was trying to think of how to get out without them seeing. So when people start asking questions about cost for self pay- I get my phone out and text my mom. Needless to say as soon as they were done talking I bolted out the back door and got in my car. Pretty sure I was unseen. I waited until I saw them leave then went in and scheduled my consultation. Some of you probably think that's crazy- but for me this is a very personal decision. And it is my decision. But anyway- got my consultation scheduled for December 4- that was their first available. Hope some of you we're able to chuckle:)

Good luck on your journey!

Lordy I have no clue- but as far as I'm concerned i saw no one! It was so funny- I had to drive 30 minutes to the next town for the meeting and its a big city- for them to be there same night same dr- was very odd

      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.
