I had a 6 month wait, it was kinda nice sometimes to not feel rushed to get my appointments done. At times it seemed to drag but the last month flew by. Good Luck!

I had the 6mth diet too. I spent every day of that 6mths here on this forum learning from the best. The time went by really fast and it was a good feeling going into it knowing you've done everything possible to succeed. Read a couple books on LBS too.lol

Also during that 6mths I put into practice the LB rules and I truly believe it gave me a head start on success.

Wishing you the best on your journey.

Please feel free to ask any questions you may have.

Try out some different Protein Shakes prior to having to use them. Get your diet started early and shrink your stomach now. Best wishes and Keep the Faith.

I'm currently in the 6-month diet phase as well. My bariatric doc wants me to lose 20lbs before surgery so i decided toput the two requirements together. I have to say, I'm worried I won't lose enough by the end of the 6mo. I've lost more than 20 in the past (& gained it back) but this feels like my whole life depends on it! I'm determined to do it though. :)

Good luck to you & ill be looking out for your updates!

      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.
