Hi All I started my journey 12mts ago, last January I was put on the 6mts weight loss program, 3mts was the milk only diet. that all finished 2 weeks ago & on the last day I had gained 2kg, my consultant was angry but I explained and asked him to look at my legs as I suffered with odema, He said do you think your ready for this operation I said yes more than ready, he said I'll see how you are in 6wks, the week before he said he was prioritizing me for my operation then everything changed, yesterday I heard that they were dropping me from the program, now they haven't told me myself but another person going to them was told that they can now push her up the ladder as they were dropping the lady that had regained in the last group, this person hasent done any the weight loss program, but has all the other test done, im seeing the physiologist on the 23th of august this is the last of my pr-op test to be done, ive sent an e-mail to my consultant to let him know the date as he asked me to let him know, I'm so angry that I could loose this operation over a 2kg gain, Ive tried ringing

the co-ordinator who I get on well with but she hasent returned any of my calls,

So sorry you are having this issue, how disappointing.

Its never made sense to me that people have to lose weight to have the surgery.

I see you lost 46 lbs in a year? That should be considered great for someone that hasn't had surgery yet!

Keep fighting for it! Good Luck.

I'm sorry too! I think it's ridiculous...if we could loose weight on our own, we wouldn't NEED the surgery!! I'm glad I wasn't required to try! Heck...I couldn't have even survived to liquid diet the week before surgery most sleeves were required to do! Good luck & keep fighting!

      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.
