I just had my first appt with my surgeon. We talked, he listened to my insides and the ball started rolling. My education class is scheduled for the 18th, dietician appt set for Oct 4, waiting on call from psych and cardiology for appt. And that's it. I'm so excited that it has started now. I have to lose 15-20lbs before surgery so I'm starting pre op diet tomorrow. The best part is I have a goal surgery date of Oct 30th. She even penciled me in the calendar. I'm nervous and excited at the same time. I think I want to cry (happy tears of course). I'm self paid so don't have wait on insurance but need to make sure I can get the money. Planning on refinancing my house. Asking for all the prayer I can get.

      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.
