Hello everyone!

I figured I'd post to say hello to everyone since I'm at the start of my journey! I had my First Pre-Op visit today to get things rolling. My 6th visit with my PCP is this coming Saturday. So I'm at the end of my 6 months, hopefully! I just need to visit the psychologist for a eval, have an EGD & EKG, and an Nutritionist visit before I everything is sent off for approval. Approval is fairly easy with my insurance, I know of 2 other people who have had WLS this year with the new plan. I'm excited, yet nervous. I've tried everything including Medifast (yuck on some stuff.) Lost about 20lbs working out and with medifast. Then decided to start seeing a doctor. Hurt my knee and gain about 7lbs back. I really hope my surgery gets approved to help me lose weight so that I can be around for my husband and start a family... and be around to see my kids have kids and so on. :) I wish everyone the best of luck and look forward to making new friends and learning all I can from you all.

Best wishes...

Lisa

      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.
