We'll I had my final visit today at the surgeons office...4.5 hours long!! Good thing is I'm 12 pounds down from my first visit with him.

I am on info overload tonight!! Plus I have a 3 hour drive one way so it has been a LONG day!!

They require a high protein/very low carb (20 gms or less) diet from now until my surgery Dec 2. The day before Clear Liquids only...

Have more to share but it will have to wait until tomorrow...

Anyone still on this? I'm lost now

I am still here although I have been having some issues with this site and the internet. Not sure which. Well, it is official the date is Dec 4th. I am all approved and all is good. I am not sure what to do now. LOL. I am both nervous and a bit scared. I am wanting this to be done and can't stand the wait. I have been waiting for years. I just hope that it goes by some what fast.

Congrats Janifer on your surgery!!!!! Brandii, still on the baby food thinking.........I would think you would need to watch the sugar so you wouldn't have any dumping...or maybe babyfood doesn't have much sugar????? My kids are older so it's been a looooonnnng time since i have looked at babyfood. Waiting on insurance approval....and waiting and waiting....I am getting impatient with all of this waitinnnngggg!

Hello all! I've been on this site from time to time during my six month diet. I finished all that and finally got a surgery date of December 11th and am cramming all my pre-op stuff in within the next couple of weeks. That's stressful. Other than that, I'm stoked. Scared and anxious but excited. Can't wait to use this forum a lot more to get to know you guys and go through this process together. My surgeon doesn't have any pre surgery diets fortunately so I plan to eat at Thanksgiving like there is no tomorrow and sit around at Christmas hating everyone stuffing their faces, lol. I ordered all my Vitamins last night along with some Protein. My wallet is crying! Thanks for listening and I look forward to getting to know you guys!

      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.
