Whooo Hooooo!

Today the Surgeon's office called. They've gone over my application, called the insurance, and now they've set me up for an office visit with the surgeon.

He'll do many of the tests himself, and answer any questions I have. I've gotta ask him if I'll be able to play the piano after the surgery. Of course, I can't play it now. Chuckle.

I see him in two weeks, and I see the shrink on Sept. 16. She's a nice lady, and she says that I only have to do one profile. I was afraid they'd want one for each personality. Chuckle.

Now I really feel like I'm on my way. Kinda scared, though. Kinda excited, too.

Ryan... I have to say... it's a lot easier to watch others go through the process than it was going through it myself! Just make sure all of your personalities are in agreement about having WLS! Soon you will be in bandland with a bunch of crazy chicks at LBT! Keep us updated!

      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.
