I went to my seminar last september, did my psych consult, blood and urine testing done, letter of intent to the doctor in, my primary doctor sent a letter in, met with NP last november, met with surgeon in january. I hadn't lost my 5% yet, so he sent me on my way and rescheduled for tomorrow. I tweaked my diet so I was focusing on Protein more, increasing my exercise alot and have kept an immaculate journal including the times of the day when I was eating and making sure I had protein every time I ate. My scale shows that I barely lost anything. I am soooo afraid that he won't do anything for me since I haven't lost the 5% yet. Today I'm basically just drinking a couple Protein Shakes and vegetables and will do a little magnesium citrate tonight (can't hurt, right?). I'm praying so hard that he can still help me. My diet will show I've done everything he's asked. I'm just a wreck.

Someone very wise told me that excitement and nervousness come from the same place in our bodies, and physiologically the reactions are the same. Therefore, when I “say” I feel nervous, I choose to turn it around to being “excited.” That helps me. Good luck on your doctor's visit, and keep putting one foot in front of the other.

Good luck!

The weight will come off. Maybe your body is just in shock right now.

Plus, your scale may be different then theirs!

Good luck! =)

      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.
