Sitting and waiting for my first nutritionist appt which is a group class. I am pretty excited oddly enough. It makes me feel like I am really on the road toward surgery. I am also excited to learn and to meet others in my position. Right after, I am heading to a bariatric support group. This morning I had an appt with my enterologist and scheduled my endoscopy. Productive day for me toward my sleeve! :-)

Make sure you pay real close attention! I don't think I did very well because I had to keep going back to my notebook to understand all the rules!

Good Luck!!

Cool! I love support groups and I am so happy I had to go to those monthly NUT sessions. I learned so much during those.

Well the group mutrition class was pretty much going over the information that I already got from the surgeon. I still have an individual session to schedule, so I am sure that will be even more helpful. The support group was great. There with a lot of post-op folk even one over 3 years out. They have a lot of knowledge and experience to share so that was great. I am required to go to two support groups, but I am going to try to go to more and continue to post op. It's nice to be able to be open about everything and share.

      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.
