I'm thrilled. My parents wombs be back until june 2013 and when they see they are going to be very excited. I have not told anyone about the surgery except my husband and my mother in law.

I am very excited for you, I just got approval last Thursday, I have a pre-op appointment on the 11th of December and they told me they would schedule surgery at that time. Seems like I have been jumping hoops forever, now that it is almost here I have some fears. Good luck to you, I will follow your story.

Thanks Joan. My doctor appointment is on Monday at 2:45 and is when I would also find out my surgery date. Right now I'm working very hard on focusing on my healthy diet that my NUT put me on, along with working full time, taking college class (next week is finals), and taking care of my hubby and my girls. Thank God I have a very supporting husband that is learning all my new way of eating. I feel so happy that I got approve and that soon I will start a new journey. My goal is to lost 60 pounds by my birthday

April 26 and to be close to my weight loss goal by August that is when I graduate. Best of luck in your journey and keep in touch.

      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.
