Hiya Miss sip girls' date=',,,I am from the Brandon area...living on gulf coast now. Will be having surgery on the coast with Dr Avara. In the insurance process now. In the middle of the 6 month wgt management portion of the insurance requirements. So ready for surgery!!!!![/quote']

Great! I had mine in Gulf port with Dr Balder. Had a great experience! I went for initial eval and had surgery a week later! So I didn't have to do the pre diet thing. Lol. Course I paid cash for mine. Had insurance that would pay but not at my BMI...cuz I had no co-morbs.

Good overall. I'm tired but I know that's from the low calorie intake. I started my Vitamins and am trying to get my Protein in so that will help. My stomach is tender but I have no pain. I even slept half on my stomach last night. Im feeling pretty good but of course I've been really taking it easy.

      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.
