Today has been horrible! We've been trying to purchase a new home, I found out this morning that a we were going to have to wait a little longer. (Been waiting for 45 days!) Then right after that I get a call from my adocvate calls changing my surgery date. I've already put it off when it could've been done this month. So now I've got to wait until Dec. 6th. I have wanted to cry all day, but can't because I'm at work. With the date change it means that I will have surgery on Friday, come home on Sunday, and have to come back to work on Monday. I have no other choice about coming back to work that fast. I just need to vent, thanks to anyone that read this.

So sorry to hear about your frustrations. Buying a house and getting this surgery are both very emotional situations. Waiting for either one is not easy. I hope you can have a good cry after work - and then, feel better to face the challenges ahead. {{Hugs}}

I was planning for a December date but I got the call today that it will be on November 19. So I guess its time to get to know all of you! I'll tell you a little bit about me. I started this journey on July 10th. I currently weigh 294 down from 314. I'm proud mommy to 4 great kids. I work in healthcare quality but I plan to change careers after I reach my goal weight. My husband isn't all the way on board with rny but I think he's just afraid for my safety. Plus I don't think he's ready to make changes to his diet. I look forward to catching up and getting in with this group. :)

      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.
