Portesouth NH - Finally got my approval and my Surgery date is 10/22. SO LONG TO WAIT!!!!! ( but then...so long to weight! ) I am dying here...however, this whole experience has been a good lesson in patience, I hae always ben a NOW person...and this has shown me that I cannot control everything( yes I am a control freak too) and that good things will happen when you do what needs to be done.

I am on My Fitess Pal.

good luck! this chat is a little awkward for me but I hope to catch on -one minute I may be here and the next I may unknowingly sign out :-/ I am really looking forward to getting this over with but not looking forward to the 10 day liquid diet! but that's ok cause it is going for a good cause-glad to see that other people feel like I do ; tried so many times to lose weight that I don't really trust it-do you you know if it is harder to maintain the loss after the fact?

My liquid diet is 15 days. I can eat naked salad greens during that time. I'm just anious to get there.

October 7 seems far away but I know it's really not. I hope we all have smooth sailing through this.

      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.
