Alrite now coming rite along, u r rite there, once u meet with the surgeon it seems like thats the last straw b4 approval.. Y don't u start with just walking around the block & increase as time goes on.. I say that so that it will become normal routine & wont b or seem so hard once u cross over...

Im trying, last week was my first wk walking. I did 4 days rangin from 30- 50 mins... Felt good afterwards tho.. See my NUT on the 18th..

My psych eval was a hour long. I was really nervous be cause i felt I was on display but I was as honest as I could b & it turn out fine.. (Guess im not as crazy as I thought) lol

So good so far...

I was actually afraid to do my psych eval because of a lady in my pre op class... She said he would not approve her for surgery and that she needed 5 more sessions with him . But when I got there, he asked a bunch of questions concerning my kids, parents & marriage . Then when I would try to answer his questions he would cut me off... Every time I spoke he cut me off. So after a while I said to myself just shut up or I'll have to come back for 5 sessions too... I got approved !!! Then he says I'm here if you need me... My reply was ill see you in the halls.

I thought you were going to say you'd see him in hell LOL

Did he specialize in WLS, obesity, etc? Mine specializes in WLS...She gave me some helpful information.....I would definintely see her if I needed support after surgery.

      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.
