Oct 7 in California. Maybe we should create an October "club". Had all my pre-op tests and visits done in 3 weeks. Waited another 3 weeks for my 6 week follow up on Aug 29. My doctors office will be submitting all my paperwork to my ins co this week.

I can't wait! I'm calling it Me Day! I was a little nervous until about 6 weeks ago when my 8 year old & I were talking about it & I explained what type of surgery I'm having (my mom had it about 2 1/2 years ago so he's familiar). He's is extremely excited because I will finally be able to get in the floor & play cars with him & play outside with him! That day, that conversation, confirmed my decision & I haven't been nervous since. I know I'm making the right choice, not only for me, but for my family as well.

      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.
