Well I it feels like I have been to a 100 appointments... I have already met with the surgeon..the nutritionist....had my blood tests..my EKG .just about everything is done except I am stuck on the physiologist clearing me... at my first sitting with her it seemed like everything was going well until I told her I had four beers with my girlfriends....that stopped her from clearing me !! Very big disappointment...I had to go to a risk management group... and I went yesterday. ..it was pretty awful...anyway I meet with the physiologist agaib on THURSDAY. ..and I am praying she clears me...! I am having it done at the Cleveland Clinic.

Do you plication? How long has it been since the surgery?

Yes I do. I had it done dec 3/12:) I chose plication for personal reasons and there's some days I wonder if I had the sleeve would i loose quicker? But I am low bmi sw 203 and I'm 5'7 and I am at 165 now. Not too shabby;) whenever I get frustrated at slow loss I remember I am grateful to have this tool as I haven't been this weight for years and know I would not be here if it wasn't for that! Do you have plication?

      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.
