Hi my names Nikkoal. Im 5'5". Starting weight March 1st was 355lbs. I am down to 334. Just started my process for gb. Im very excited to finally be on this journey. I was supposed to have this surgery last year. However, I ended up finding out that I was 2 months pregnant just when I was going to do bloodwork. I had already seen the nut and passed my psych test. My daughter is a wonderful blessing. But I am totally ready to do this!! I do have to start all over but this time is going rather quickly. I got my referral from dr last week and I go in to see the surgeon for consult May 14. Wish me luck and Im so happy to have found an awesome site with people just like me!!

I saw on another post that you're in the Fresno area. What surgeon are you going to? I live about an hour southeast of fresno & am seeing Dr Swartz. Finished all pre-authorization stuff & just waiting on insurance approval. Hoping to get scheduled within a week or so & still hoping for a May surgery date!

Not sure if your layout is the same, but at the bottom of my screen, there is a gray bar with buttons for "threads" "messages", etc & when I scroll it to the left, there is a button for "profile" I clicked on that & then the little pic upload box & voila!

      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.
