I have my date with Dr. O for June 18th, I am nervous over several things but the most important is that I have gained 12 lbs since my initial visit in fEB. I heard he will post pone the surgery until I loose the weight??? Any suggestions on how to loose 12lbs in three weeks?

Sorry its taken me so long to reply. I did the exact same thing. I had the "last supper" problem going on. I thought I wasn't ever going to be able to eat normally once I had my surgery. I wanted to enjoy the last remaining weeks before my life with food was finally over. Wrong. If you can get over that mindset it will help you. Also I started Protein Shakes in the morning instead of my normal Breakfast to get myself ready for the liquid phase pre-surgery. This will increase your Protein intake and could take off a few pounds. Good luck hope this helps.

I had my first appointment there on July 6th, 2009. That was almost a year ago! Wow! I wish you good luck, but more importantly, I wish you good skill. It takes skill to succeed at this journey! You can do it!

      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.
