... when people at work (well, one individual in particular) keeps offering me food and then says "oh, right, you can't eat that can you" . One of these days I'm going to eat everything he offers me - atleast one bite of it ;)

My daughter was 10 today, we took her to Swiss Chalet - and I was good just had the chicken and spinach salad. But.....we had bought her some cupcakes with pink thick frosting - and I was dribbling - just had to get up and walk away, I could actually taste it - crazy!!!

This is day 3 of the Protein shakes x 2 and dinner. Next Monday - Wed is the clear liquid deal - no dinners out that week!!

Melissa, I am also going to Dr Garcia - but on 17th May.

Just to add - some fat people do too - I work with a lady that is green eyed with envy that I am going to do this - and she is on me all day to eat. I told her yesterday - maybe you should go as well. That shut her up!

Haha Glenda, that's funny. I'll be leaving the hospital next Thursday, which I think is the day you'll be getting there, so maybe we'll run into each other :) Can't wait!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
