I'm on my 3rd month out of 6 and I find myself struggling... My surgery will probably be around March or April timeframe. It feels like its so close, but so far away. Is anyone else struggling like I am?

Yeah... I'm doing alright, I'm probably feeling like this because of the holidays. I can't wait for my surgery. I met with my surgeon already and he's awesome! I just feel like I'm never going to get to month 6...

Mine is consecutive as well... I don't want any "hiccups". I think I'm worried about screwing this whole thing up. For the last 10 years its been diet after diet and one step forward 3 steps backward. I just worry...

Waiting has to be the hardest part, Doing another sleep study shouldn't slow anything down but you will probably be put on a C pap machine, and your Doc will want you to use it so as soon as you have the second test and get the machine start using it right away so that if he requires you to have been using it for a certain length of time you already have that time counting along with your six months. Also the sleep apnea diagnosis assists with insurance approval. Wishing you the best and truly understand the waiting and the effect it has on your nerves.

      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.
