Hello. I am new to the site. That's why I have no pic yet but I'll be putting one up soon. But I digress. I am so happy!! I got a call from my surgeon's office today asking me to pick a surgery date!!! I haven't gotten insurance approval yet but I am praying that things will be in my favor. I love that there is a place for people to share their experiences.

Talk to you all a little later!!!!

Welcome!!! We are so glad you choose to join us. A lot of us had our surgeries outside the United States, so don't have a support group to attend. This site takes the place of a support group for many of us (me included!) Also this site has to have the most loyal, enthusiatic group of encouragers anywhere on the planet! It is full of terriffic people who offer help, encouragement, advice, prayers, whatever is needed. It is a place to ask questions, address concerns and just vent frustrations. We are so glad you are here!

So did you pick a date for the surgery? How soon? Be sure and keep us posted so we can follow your progress!

Looking forward to hearing more from you!

      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.
