Hi I am 36 and almost done with my appointments. I was worried about the physc eval but some kind ladies made me feel better about it.lol I started the process the beginning of this year but had to put appointments on hold due to financial reasons, but now im back in the game. I have my physc appt on the 28th of this month and the 26th is my weight loss support group. then I meet with surgeon and set up date I guess and then wait to hear from insurance. I do not have any comorbidities, I am 5'6 and 250lbs. today I had high blood pressure for the first time ever! weird. my insurance requires me to have a 5yr weight history instead of a med supervised 6mo diet...not sure what I would prefer...but gotta deal with the cards dealt to me. I love this site because all my worries get answered and ive met some awesome people on here!

      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.
