I am from Conover Ohio, which is about 25 mins north of Dayton. I do not have a date yet, I have to do a three month diet to get my BMI down.. so far so good! I am going to Dr. Trace Curry out of Cincinnati. Right now the only thing I have to do is lose the required weight, do the nutrition part and get my date.

Why do they make some people loose weight before a weight loss surgery?

OMG! 60 lbs?! If I could just lose 60 lbs that easy then I wouldn't bother with the surgery. I didn't have to lose any weight. But I have heard of people having to lose 20. Never 60. Wow

I am excited and nervous.....its all starting to feel real....I wish I could just get it done so I wouldn't have this anxiety about the surgery itself. It doesn't help that I read everything about this online lol

      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.
