Hello everyone!

I am brand spanking new here! I am 4" 11" and 55 years old (short and old). I just got excepted to the bariatric center and my insurance does cover this surgery. I am now waiting for a call to get me started on the program. Its a loooooong journey as they require a 6 month doctor assisted diet. This does include seeing a psychologist, physical therapist, have a sleep apnea test, etc.

I am especially grateful to know there are lots of other shorties here!! My husband is 6'2" so he doesn't totally get it, LOL.

Anyway--glad to meet you all and hear your journeys so I know what's in store for me!!

Hey so first congrats on your process your doing amazing! My advice for you would be to make sure your still chewing slow so you don't over eat and if you are most defiantly trying to loose more weight you should only be eating clean and maybe one cheat day maybe! But make sure you are taking your Protein and working out at least and I mean at least 2x weekly .... You'll reach your goal!!! Good luck and stay focused also limit your alcohol intake because that's the weight that sneaks on

You with out a sign ....

First let me say congrats!!!!!! As for losing more weight my advice would be to make sure your staying on top of your Protein intake , make sure your eating at a slow pace so you don't over eat and if losing weight is your main goal you must be sure your eating clean ONLY! Exercise at least twice a week if not more ... Good luck drink lots if Water with lemon!!!!

I'm in the same boat- my steps are getting checked off and scheduled- I think if it wasn't for my funny rule from my employer ins-saying I have to be employed a yr first I'd have a schedule date-

All I know is after July 30!!

That is a funny rule having to wait a year before you will get excepted for surgery. Its excited to be on this journey.

Same with short term disability or FMLA - policy is to be there a year-but last job it wasn't covered and I was planning to pay out of pocket-so this is worth it- I have been to my Primary, attended group, sleep study is scheduled in a week- so when the date rolls around it cans be approved right away.

Oh I see. That's smart that you are getting the test done early. I'm so happy I'm almost finished with my tests.

That would be great to have the same dates!

      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.
