I'm in Guilford. Where are you going for cardiac clearance? I go next week in Branford. This week I have ultrasound at Guilford Radiology and mental health clearance on Wed. What surgeon are you going to?

How are you feeling over all? I'm terrified of having the surgery, but I know I really have to lose weight. I know I can't make the necessary changes without help. I like to eat and drink and be social too much!

I'm going to Yale Cardiac Group in Branford next week. I've never had a stress test before so I'm praying everything goes alright. Where do you live? I have two other friends from Guilford also going through this process.

I have a confession I ate a piece of cheese pizza tonight! It was so good. It was really like a half slice but it went down ok. I gave the crust to the dog because I knew I never be able to handle that. It gives me a little hope that someday I will be able to eat something good again. Was I bein bad?? I am feeling so guilty...

      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.
