Congrats! Don't worry about having a post with errors. You can edit your post I know. I have to do it all the time. Its a button at the bottom of your post that says, well, EDIT. Teehee. I don't know how to delete it though.

I have to say that I'm very excited also that my pre-op diet consists of day before surgery Clear liquids only! Thank GOD I have no 2 weeks of liquids because I was really dreading that!

My life is going to change and I don't think I've ever been so excited about anything!!!

Thank you!!!! I noticed you are almost to Goal in 9 months!!! AMAZING! Congrats! I wanted to ask about your exercise because I am so worried about the loose skin from losing so fast. I'm worried I won't be able to work out to keep up with the weight loss or maybe I can and am just over thinking it or worrying i'll look like a blob of skin on my stomach.

My main problem is my stomach and chest..my arms aren't horribly big, and my legs are actually fairly in shape.

I will get a Tummy Tuck if i need it but God would I love to not have to do that. I am lucky enough to have my age on my side, at 27 my skin still has a good elasticity to it.

Thanks for the support!

Actually I'm going later this evening to the hospital (since my DR. is out of state) to do my lab work, EKG, and Chest X-Ray. I live in Ga but am having my surgery done in Louisiana. My best friend lives there and is going to help me during recovery. I'm so excited!!!!

You have nothing to worry about with the pre admit testing! Idk exactly what tests you have to get done but the only other thing I can think of would be an EGD(upper endoscopy). That's nothing major really either.

Let me know how your testinng goes and when you go!

Good luck and stay excited and positive!

      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.
