this is the first post ive done since i did the intro one. I have met with the surgeon, and they referred me to the Bariatric center for the required 6 month diet thing my insurance requires (anthem BC/BS of GA) I have met with the dietitian and the meeting with the psychiatrist went well also..blood work done..looks like my cholesterol is high and i'm low in Vitamin D so i am on meds for that. Its really strange b/c i've never been on meds like this before. i'm hoping that after this surgery i will be able to be off them. Does the time go fast? because im so ready to get everything over with its crazy..i'm ready to be on the other side of the fence.

I am so with you. My husband and I pondered this for two years and now that we've made the decision I just want it done! Everyday pre surgery just feels like a day wasted to me now.

They put me on Vitamin D after my bloodwork also, my doc told me up to 85% of people are Vitamin D deficant but just never get tested, the vitamin D you might be on awhile inless you get out more after the surgery or get enough in your daily Vitamins after surgery. I only take 2 a week on Sunday and it bothers my tummy a little but not much.

Sadly time goes slow.....i just got done my 6 month visits, still waiting on my date but approved by insurance. Take this time to try to get used to eating Protein, taking a Multi-Vitamin and if you can lose some weight during your 6 month visits the doc recomends it, it shows the insurance co. you are serious about losing the weight......

      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.
