I went to the websites you posted, but I couldn't find the free samples. Where on the site would I go?

I am glad my surgery wasn't scheduled for today because we got over 12 inches of snow and last night the winds were gusting over 50 mph. It sure doesn't feel like spring!

I saw my dr on Tuesday hoping to schedule a date... but no... the scheduler is supposed to call me... haven't heard from her yet.... boo!

Also I was able to request samples from the Bariatric liquid place by going to: http://www.wellesse.com/sample/ or search for 'sample' and it was the third or forth result :) For the other site, Bariatric Choice, I did the live chat and they took my info and said they'd send it out today.

Anyone know of other places that give samples? I'm always up for free :)

I just got scheduled for May 15, one day before my birthday ! I had to appeal my denial, but finally got approved. Super excited, but scared to death at the same time. I have a 2 yr old, and I keep thinking about the morbid things. I worry about the usual things: what if I don't live through surgery, have serious complications, etc. I have to remind myself that I am doing this so that he can have an active Mom who can play with him without having to stop every few feet. I want to be healthy ! I am excited for you guys too ! Keep me posted !

In 696 more hours I have my surgery!!!! Yaay for May. I can't believe its less than a month away. Next Tuesday is my pre-op day! Come on May!

Surgery date: May 14' date=' 2013[/quote']

I have done the pre-op once before let me give you some tricks and hint to make it a little easier on you ;)

1.Go out and buy a ninja or a bullet because you can make a snow cone and put Crystallight in it and eat it all day long it helps a lot with the need for Crunchy and chewing helps get Water in and Gives your mouth something to do ;)

2. Crystal light Popsicles!! Something you can have as many as you want easy to make ;). Take water crystal light and poor in Popsicle makers.

3. Hot Decaffeinated herbal tea and green tea. Helps with the hot late night snack and hot broth Swanson's chicken and beef is pretty good.

Hope that helps you guys a bit having done this once before its hard but yell if you need anything even I it's just to vent ;)

      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.
