Hi. Going public here. Mine is May 1. Did u all tell your siblings and children. I am thinking of just going aol for a few days :)

Congrats and welcome to our May surgery list! I added you to our list. You have a surgery buddy on May 1. I told my hubby, children and just a few close friends/family. Didn't tell my mom or sisters because they are jealous and negative of everything, nonsupportive and they would just be so judgmental. Don't need any of that. Plus, this is for ME! :-)

I can't believe surgery is three weeks away!!! Hey, my surgery buddy - candace0822, are you getting nervous? I know I am. But at the same time, just want to start this journey. Seeing all these post op pics is making me get anxious to get this show on the road.

I just found out I'm offically approved... I'd gotten a message from the doctor's office on Friday and was worried because they had only submitted on Wed or Thurs.

I have my pre-op with my primary tomorrow... it's getting really real.

I visited my mom this past weekend... she's a bit freaked out, crazy worried about the actual surgery and then when I told her about the diet afterwards she was surprised at how little it really was!

Morning Ladies,

I'm finding that most of us having the surgery have to do a liquid diet before the surgery. What is the purpose of this....my doctor doesn't have me on it.

According to my doctor it is to get your intestines as clean as possible and to prepare you for the liquid diet after the surgery..

      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.
