I also have my initial consultation on the 27th!!! I'm so excited and terrified at the same time. I keep seeing horror stories on the Internet and I'm scared to death of extra skin!

If am nervous, if am set for June 28. My surgeon told me not to do the diet. Now i am reading posts and feeling like if should have anyways. His nurse took me through it all but when he came in after looking everything over said not too. If thought he was joking at first. I am now worried.

You can friend people on the actual site. It doesn't show on the mobile app.

WooHoo! I figured it out too! Sitting here finishing up the packet of paperwork I need to fill out and bring on Wednesday. Kinda kicks ya in the teeth to document years and years of failed attempts to loose the weight. Seems the only time I have ever lost weight was while I was pregnant! LOL Glad we all are starting our journies together!

      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.
