Hey everyone,

My name is Dan, and I am new to this forum. I am 37 years old and have struggled with my weight for many years like many of you. I have already gone through the 6 mandatory months, of therapy and submitted my request to the insurance company "Auxiant" and was approved immediately to my surprise. I meet with my surgeon on the 11th of July and my surgery date is July 26th 2011.

Welcome Dan, so great that you are getting to move along quickly. I guess 6 months of therapy didn' t seem like it was quickly for you. This is a great forum and everyone is friendly and eager to be encouraging. YOur surgery is the day before mine. I will keep tabs on your progress. You will have to check out the forum for July sleevers. Good Luck.

Welcome! Your surgery is also the day before mine. I am so ready to start continue this journey. Let's keep in touch for support during the few weeks post-op that can be challenging from what I've read.

Best of luck and aloha,

Lulu

Thanks everyone,

And as I figure out how to navigate better through the forum, I will be more involved. I am very excited about my upcoming surgery, and would enjoy sharing the excitement and any new fears that may pop up in the next couple of weeks.

I hope everyone had a fun and safe 4th. I will write again soon

Daniel

      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.
