For the first time in years I'm not hosting thanksgiving at my house so I think that'll help me not eat as much. I'd love someone to go through this with. Had a nightmare about the surgery last night.. I went under and woke up amd said I want McDonald's... but I couldn't have it.. I know that's what's going to happen.. but it seemed like the end of the world in my dream.. creepiness...

Honestly Ive thought about for years but never truly looked into it thinking my insurance would never pay for it and a friend I went to high school had the surgery and I saw her progress online. I asked her what she was doing and told me gastic bypass and highly recommended her surgeon whom she also works for. And that was late may/ early june and was hapoy to find out its covered!

A close friend of mine had it done recently. I tried to talk her out od it xause my aunt had the open done 10 yrs back and got so sick. It was horrible. But when I went to see my friend the morning after she got it done she was up walking around.. perfectly fine... so I looked into it hardcore and was also relieved to find out it was covered. My pcp signed the medical necessity form yesterday... gyn sent her clearencet in.. I'm stoked

      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.
