Hi all! Are my buddies still there? Well, I have completed all if my required appts. My psychologist suggested that we have a follow up appt bc she's worried if I will have adequate help immediately after surgery. My hubbs works a lot, third shift, so most of my time is spent toting the kids around all day, etc. I think I'm going to have to tell my mom about the surgery so me and the babies can bunk with her for a week after surgery. Not really looking forward to it bc Dad's cancer/pallative care/passing was so traumatic, I think she might associate risks from surgery with past grief. In addition to that, she is in general a sensitive lady. I am concerned about how she will react.

Hi Cupof

I am still waiting! YIKES! I FINALLY got the last lab turned in last week. I went to the doc three times for labs, each time they missed one. Now, I'm waiting to get approval for the surgery. So we are in the same boat. You with your psych follow up and me with my labs. I had hoped to have it done by the end of the year, but that's just not going to happen. I start traveling after that and so it looks like late FEb for me.

Hi Mary! This whole process seems like it's taking too long! I am SO ready to start flooding. I have been "dieting" or I should say, geting myself ready for the upcoming changes for a few weeks now. I don't have to loose weight to qualify for insurance but I would attests like to see my efforts show on the scale. Are you keeping a food diary?

Typos! Not "looking" not flooding. And "at least" not attests.

I'm not keeping a diary...but I probably should. And I hate auto correct! :)

      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.
