I havr my first appointment with my surgeon on August 2nd. It will be the 5th month of my supervised diet. I have lost 25 pounds already. I have my psyc eval s scheduled and I dont have to do a sleep apenia study either. I am getting excites but I found out that my husband will be deployed in October, but I don't know what day my surgery is going to be. I am hoping he will be here when it happens. I am nervous, scared, excited and ready to make this life style change. Any advice for a newcomer like me? Thanks everybody for being so supportive.

What worked for me was that I followed EXACTLY what my surgeon wanted me to do ... pre-op AND post-op.. I ate what I was supposed to eat, I exercised when I was cleared and have had no issues what so ever. Follow doctor's orders and you will be fine. Good Luck !

      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.
