Hi everyone! I had a meeting with my surgeon and weight loss team yesterday. I'm waiting on approval from insurance company. I'm really nervous and excited. I have told my close family what I'm doing but I have not gotten positive feedback. It's disappointing but I have my husband in my corner. Anyone else had this problem.

It doesn't matter what they think, this is about YOU! You are the one that has to live with the decision not them. You are doing this to better your health and longevity, we all know how hard this is. Let them think what they want, you should be focusing on yourself. This is the one time where being Selfish is a positive thing. Don't let others pull you down when you are doing something to better your life.

      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.
