Recommended Posts

I havn't narrowed down which date i'm going with.. i guess it depends if i decide to pay the expedite fee for my husband and I's passports. Going to apply for them today.. anyone recently have to apply for a passport? How long did it take to get? Was it the full 6 weeks to process? So excited for this day to finally get here.. been a lurker for way too long... :-)

I haven't recently done it, but I remembered that ours came rather quickly. Just triple check the paperwork to avoid missed errors :) I'd go ahead and schedule the earlier date, Anaid told me, as long as you rescheduled 7 days before surgery, there would be no problems. Good luck!

Everyone I've talked to says it takes 4-6 weeks but my friend applied for hers in December and got it in a couple weeks! Good luck. I apply for mine Monday. Already have my picture and had to wait on birth certificate.

well hoping i get mine soon.. i'd rather go with the earlier date.. the sooner i can get going with this the better.. more time i have to get used to my new tummy before i have this big graduation party for my son.

My hubby wants to go, and I'm not against it, but I will either bring our aunt, or a friend, or just come by myself...

      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.
