Looking forward to the support from this group and this thread.

I was just thinking that we should form our own support group to start doing activities and things we couldn't do before after everybody has their surgery . I think it would be fun. I believe Cassandra suggested it! This will keep us motivated and moving forward' ! I'm praying for all of us on this journey' we can do this

Maybe we should do a meet and greet or something but i'm not sure where we can do it considering we're either on pre or postop diets.

Hey ladies ! I'm so super excited .... I just had my last appt for my surgery . They will be submitting paperwork for my approval this week! So I pray all goes well. Then I am well on my way . I can't believe I'm going thru with this. I still have not shared it with anyone other than my husband . I will tell my mom like a week before the surgery. I don't need any negativity . I made this decision on my own.

Congratulations ! ! ! ! It does not take BSBC long to approve. It took them about 3 weeks or so to approve me. Did you do your psyc eval? Then your EDG? ...........GIrl I know what you mean about the negativity. Everyone around me saying you are fine there is nothing wrong with you but it is more then the physical apperance. I need to be healthy you know what I mean,

Yes I've had everything except the edg. I don't have to have it . I think most ppl say that because they may want u to stay where u are. Not having it ! I'm so ready to have this life change. Once I get my approval I feel like I can really live the life that I was meant to live . Ur right this is abt our health . I'm tired of breathing hard after tying my shoe .

      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.
