Hello everyone,

This is my first time on here. I have begun my journey to a healthier me. My first appointment with my surgeon is on march 27th. I am super excited. I have been watching YouTube videos and reading posts on this blog/forum and find it all very informative. I can't wait to actually have a surgery date and then share before and after pictures on here. Thank you in advance for the help and support I know I'm going to need.

welcome aboard :)

it is exciting meeting with your surgeon for the 1rst time :)

officially starting the process to a longer, healthier, happier new life with your sleeve. :)

write a list of questions for the dr/NUT - keep ears open - write things down - it will go great

reading from the board here, posting your questions, getting answers - listening to other peoples responses is terrific

get info and add a ticker to your post showing your weight et al

add your info to your profile

its good for others to see where you are "at"

DOS, starting weight et al

good luck with your long wonderful journey in front of you :)

      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.
