Wonderful! You will find the Nutritionist visits are extremely helpful. There is so much information to know, and of course knowledge is POWER! ^_^

Continue on! Those months will fly by... promise.

The appointment went good. A lot of info about the pre op diet to lose some weight. They don't put you on liquids for 2 weeks just a healthy diet before surgery. Very motivational visit. Hoping for surgery late July or early August.

Had my psych eval yesterday which was fun fun fun!! Today met with my surgeon for my initial consult, which went extremely well. I have completed everything just waiting on some of the info to be faxed to my surgeons office. Very very excited. Hoping for a date of early to mid September maybe late August if everything goes without a hitch.

Congrats! I'm pretty much at the same place, only my hospital requires I go through 3 classes with the nutritionist. Should be meeting my surgeon soon though.

      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.
