Hey y'all! I've in finally got the junk to join y'all in your chatters!!

Cliff note verison of my story.

I've been thinking about WLS for February 2012 on and off, until May 2012 when I started to slowly research things. Search out websites, books, and everything. So with the support of my handsome hubby we went to an info session at MUSC, Tuesday June 5. Asked him which surgery he liked the best. He was leaning told the vertical sleeve and so was I. But I was teetering on the edge of RNY or Sleeve.

So I turn in my paperwork, get the ball rolling on that end. I got a call yesterday, June 7, saying they got my paper work and were going to pass it. And today I spoke with my dietitian and then for my call to meet and talk with my Doc one on one ad figure the best route for me. So I meet with him on June 21, 2012!!! Yay! :)

I'm so excited! And I've decided I'm going with the RNY gastric bypass. I figure I'm the go big or go home type of gal! I want to live around for a loooong time, so why not go with most chance for weight loss!

So thanks for reading! And hope to see y'all around!

      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.
