I'm using dr lisa too, I love her! I'm scheduled for 1.8.13 after a set back. My surgery was supposed to be next week. I'm so sad.

There is a reason and propose for everything. You just have to look at the positives. I don't know if you prescribe to any particular faith, but maybe thinhs are being worked out to be of the greatest benefit to you!

Absolutely! Great -and so very true - words of encouragement, Liz . Keep your chin up Alicia. Great and wonderful things are being planned for you. Don't believe me? Find a Bible and read Jeremiah 29:11. Then read Romans 8:28. Then, dear one, take a deep breath, smile and know you are loved and cared for every minute of every day - and have been since long before you we're ever born!

I'm in Dayton Ohio. Jan 7th unless there is a cancellation. The count down app is a good idea! 27 years, married, 4 kids. Looking for a buddy myself if anyone close to Dayton. I started the process Dec 15 ,2011. So a 13 month process. Had a 9 month physician diet. A few denials but finally approved and scheduled! Ill b on a 14 day diet. So no Xmas dinner or drinking on new years Eve.

Yep....January it is. I just received insurance approval yesterday and my surgeons office said they will call me soon with a date but that the surgeon is booked until Jan. I look forward to talking with the rest of you Jan. folks to compare notes and give support.

Hello! Im 32, 4'11, and 248 pounds. I'm from the Dallas area and January will be the final appointment for the 6 month physician supervised diet. My guess is that my surgery will be some time in February. Dr. Kuhn's at Baylor Medical is my surgeon. I'm nervous, but extremely excited! I hope that time passes quickly so that I can get this over with. Any advice that I should take with my eating habits right now or Vitamins that I should start taking to prepare myself? Good luck to all!

I'm scheduled for January 10. I was scheduled for Dec 6, but work asked me to wait until after the Holidays. I was really upset at first but now realize it is for a reason. I am so excited! 9 years being 100+ pounds overweight and I'm ready to shed it off!

      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.
