In about two weeks I can get my blood work done and that is my last step for the pre op process I am looking for some one to help keep me going in the right direction and of course I would help them keep on track also.

Right? I loved them, I still think about them all the time!! I've never had any surgeries or medical procedures done before so I was kind of nervous, but they were fantastic.

I'm feeling good, no complaints really, I've been quite lucky. and you?

The hair loss is inevitable. It happens to everyone unfortunately. I'm not looking forward to it either, but I've learned I'll just have to cope an it's only temporary. It happens around 3 mos post op. I take Biotin to help slow the loss and so hopefully I won't lose too much, but from what I've read and my doc said, we can't really avoid it :(

      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.
