Hello everyone, I am sitting here waiting to take my last pre op class and being so excited and nervous at the same time. I have started my high Protein and low carbs diet. This was a year long journey for because insurance had me go through so many test and etc to be approved. I want to say do everything the insurance companies ask of u so u can get the surgery . I am currently 5'2 210 pounds my goal weight is 140.

Hands down, this is the best decision I have ever made for myself......don't regret one minute of it......the first few weeks are challenging.............but don't get discouraged............I am wearing a size 14.....well below 200 pounds (which I never thought I'd ever see again).............and life is good..............no..........life is great.........I am so much more active now, all my health problems have been fixed.......I love how I look in clothing......hubby is so happy to have his old wife back....and my journey has just begun......just know each phase of the plan is just a few short weeks of your life, and you can do it......wishing you all the best!

      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.
