SSOOOOO EXCITED. Just came back from the doctors for final pre-op appt and I got weighed in and lost a total of 13 pounds in 9 days!!!!! I even told him I cheated and ate some salads and he said that was fine. Than he looked at me and said you cheated with SALADS!!!! He was thinking I ate bad things!!! Surgery is less than 5 days away!!!! Totally EXCITED now!!!!

Congrats on doing your pre-op weight loss goal! After entering the bariatric program where I was it took me 7 months to get into the mind set of 'wanting' to really drop the initial weight. Wishing you a speedy recovery from surgery, and of course, much success!

Slim fast 2x a day. I also drank ALOT of fluids through out the day....I would mix in crystal lite into a 1 litre bottle and drank 3 of those a day which is 120 oz...Soup as well through the day...mainly broth but sometimes I had reg Soup and pureed it and TONS and I mean TONS of Jello sugar free of course...but if I REALLY felt hungry I would eat a salad with fat free dressing (Lettuce and tomatoes only) but when Hubby was eating something I loved I would ask him for a bite and that would take wanting to eat more than I should....It is not easy but I did take it one day at a time!!! Good Luck!!!

      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.
