I went to the WL seminar on the 13th of May and they told me i am looking at about 6 weeks until my surgery. I did my phyc evail last week. I see the surgeon on May 29th. I just have to schedule my scoop and wait for insurance to clear me. I am scared to death but i am so excited all at the same time. I hope that is normal?? I have been trying to get things ready. I have reading as many of your posts as i can to find out what you all have done. Any suggestions would helpful. I have been trying Protein powders. I am a big espresso drinker so i came across this Protein Powder by CLICK... its so good!!! It only has 15g protein. I will use it as my coffee treat. I have ordered Unjury vanilla and it should be here on Wednesday. I hope i like it. A lot of people said its the best tasting one. I was also wondering if anyone on here is from Washington State??

I am 9 months post op and I have never regretted having the surgery. I was excited and scared too, that is normal. I just got back from the gym, I rode the bike for 30 minutes and walked on the treadmill for 41 minutes. I never could have done that before my 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.
