Hi KSDallas...congrats on your upcoming July surgery! I went to Forest Park for my pre-op appointment this week and thought the facility and staff were very nice!

20 lbs! That would be awesome! I heard that many people lose a substantial amount of weight on the pre-op diet. I've been trying to eat healthy and cut back my coffee intake so that the pre-op diet isn't so dreadful. I'm struggling mentally though...I feel the need to splurge on all of my favorite foods before surgery. I know that it's not the last time that I'll get to eat these things, but I still feel like I will be giving them up forever! Hopefully I can stay focused so that I can lose additional weight before surgery.

Things are moving for me very fast now. I'll be sleeved by Dr. Kim June 7th in Decatur. Anyone else with Dr. Kim that day? I'm trying to figure out transportation since that's not really close to Carrollton.

I got the news today that I won't have surgery until July. My insurance requires a full 90 days with the nutritionist so instead of today being my last visit, I have one more at the end of June. I am a tad bummed but then again in the grand scheme of things it is only a couple of more weeks, so it's cool. Everything happens for a reason.

So I called his office and they told me that due to my age, they are going to waive the cardio lab work. I wonder if that is a good idea. I mean, I'm not 18. I hope this is normal. By the way, I finished my last final, and I would really like to grab that cup of coffee sometime early next week. I see that you've almost lost 60lbs! That is so wonderful, I am truly happy for you. How have you been feeling?

AWWW man, I totally missed this post!! Hit that quote button so I'll see it! I'm still up for it whenever!

      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.
