Jennifer,

Hope you find someone close to you stage in the WLS process. I started a few months ahead of you at Rollers also. January 3 this year. I have surgery scheduled next Wednesday. Dr. Kwon will be my surgeon.

Hang in there, read this and other forums and get as informed as you can.

Good Luck,

Rick

Hello! I am sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you. I had a little insurance issue so i got discouraged and decided to quit the program. However I am back now. My husbands job switched insurance companies and I thru my pre-existing phase, yes, being overweight is considered pre-existing. The new insurance doesn't require a 6 month diet or pscyh eval. I already had the pscyh eval though. I just have to be over 18, bmi over 40, and do it thru a bariatric center of excellence. I feel very fortunate that i do not have to jump thru a bunch of hoops. I just have to do the EGD and lab work. When is your surgery date? I hope you are still on here.

Jennifer

      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.
