Hi everyone....first time posting. So glad to have found this site....you are all a wealth of information! I admit I'm addicted to reading all of your posts.

I'm 48 and need to lose about 100 lbs. My spouse just went through her surgery April 4th, so I kind of have an idea about what's in store for me.

I've been approved for surgery on July 11th. I'm very excited to start moving towards a healthy weight.

I know me too, I kinda want to have a last hooraaa, but I had to lose 10% of my body weight to be approved by insurance for my surgery. I did it, It was HARD....and I worked so hard to get it off I don't want to gain it all back. But at the same time I am wondering if I have to keep it off till surgery???? I would be soooo mad if I gained some back and it kept me from having my surgery!!!!! So when is your surgery date? I love the Fellow Virgo Sleever :) Happy early Birthday to you too!

Long story but my surgery was changed to the 24th instead of the 23rd. I'm fine with that. I'll be in the hospital from Tuesday to Friday. We are another day closer to July!!

      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.
