Hi, I'm from Waco, I'm still a newbie here. just finished my psych eval today. Now, I'm waiting for the dr to fax over the results to the Bariatric Center so that they can send everything to Tricare(my insurance) and see if I'm approved for this. keep your fingers crossed.:P

Hey guys ! I live in Killeen and my surgery date is 2/3/2012. I am soooo nervous and excited and scared. Have a lot of fear about the anesthesia. I haven't had general anesthesia in 16 years! Very nervous and worried about the pre op tests once I arrive at the hospital. I just want to get it done and the anticipation is killing me!

      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.
