I started using my laptop instead of my phone and made a new profile under SaltLife. No pics yet, but information and numbers so far. I love reading your posts, you're always such an inspiration and comfort. I go in for surgery in about 2 weeks, so i will post pics closer to then. Will be using my SaltLife profile from now on.....hope to see you again!

I am in Tampa as well. Waiting for my approval and surgery date. Love this forum, everyone is so supportive. I am hoping for a Jan. Surgery date.

I'm also in Tampa and scheduled for Jan 9. I had to postpone and I feel kind of out of the loop since I haven't seen the Dr since the beginning of Dec. But I'm trying to get my head back into getting ready. Definitely would like to buddy up with someone for support.

      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.
