I'm anxious and nervous first Dr. Appt set up. I had to wait since they're so backed up. A co-worker of mine said enjoy your last meal and get ready for this ride. She gave me this site as a great place to conversate, and join the journey

Welcome!! Don't be scared, it is good! I, also, had to wait, but the wait is okay! Did you d o the seminar, yet? I had lots of online things to fill out before I could schedule my 1st appointment. Then, I had to endure 6 months of preparation appointments. With teh visit to teh nutrionist, and teh appointments, I lost about 25 lbs in the 6 months. It was great kick start for me! Anyway, just wanted to say, "Hi" and welcome to our forum! Karen..aka..kll724

Congrats on starting your journey!! I'm not too far into mine; I just received approval from my insurance company a few days ago and let me tell you, that is an amazing hurdle to pass! Good luck with everything and feel free to ask if you have any questions :)

      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.
