Omg totally long and REAL emotional since the Pschiatrist used "tough love" approach snd said "this is life-saving surgery!" I wept like a baby but it was a great wake-up call. It wad 4-hours long so yes really long lol! I go back July 18 to ensure I can lose at least 5 lbs. And show I'm committed. I'm so there but I'm glad they want to test me out. Real excited about the process so far! How are you doing?

I'm doing well! I'm on the mushies stage, and I tried making a tuna patty, with chopped onion shredded fat free cheddar, oats and an egg white, blended it up and cooked the "batter" in a pan haha. It looked like a pancake! But tasted like tuna :/ it didn't taste bad though so that's good. Next week I'm on soft foods and I can't wait! A lot of people are noticing how much wait I've lost, its pretty crazy... Good luck with everything! Keep me updated!

I'm with doctor Horgan, scheduled for November 26. I'm on the liquid pre-op phase now. I'm wondering what kind of results you all have had. Any words of wisdom? Thanks!

      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.
