Surgery scheduled for June 4.....I drink water constantly but I was told once I have the surgery I may not be able to unless I add something to it.... They call it water nausea ... A co worker who had his surgery 2 years ago still can't drink water unless he adds something to it. Have u been reading about the hairloss? I think that is what is freaking me out the most....it's not like a woman can shave her head and be considered "hot" like some guys can!!!! Lol!

I'm having my lap band removal and VSG 6/3/14. I agree! I'm spooked about the Hair loss. I heard people who experience hair loss usually stop shedding after about 8 months to a year after surgery. If it happens to me... I hope I don't shed until I'm bald???? LOL! I better get some liquid/chewable Biotin just in case. I never heard of water nausea... Is it because the taste of water has changed after surgery and it tastes nasty?

Seems June 4th is a popular date! I'm having my sleeve done on this day as well. Started my two week pre-op diet on day 2. It's hasn't been that hard. 4shakes a day with up to 5 additional items like sf Jello, pudding, Soup and veggies. I realize just how much head hunger I really have! I am slightly nervous, but more excited on this journey for a healthy mind and Body! And it won't be bad to look as great as you feel! This is a very exciting time and I'm so ready to get it going!

I'm not having trouble with the diet during the day BUT when I get home from work is when the hunger sets in.... A friend of mine who went through the pre op process with me had her surgery on April 18, and she has lost a total of 47 pounds...which includes her pre op weight loss. Pretty amazing huh?

I'm the same way. Day 2 of pre op diet and I'm hungry!!!!!! It's totally head hunger because I've had nothing really to do today. Hopefully it will get better. I can't believe surgery is in less than two weeks....nervous

I'm scheduled for my sleeve on June 23rd, Dr. Billing in Edmonds, Wa. I see so many peeps going to Mexico, but too nervous to do that, which is unfortunate because it could save so much money.

Hello, i wanted to know if you're from NY ? This is last month of my requirement journey. ( my around visit with my surgeon on June 4th ) what is to be expected that day ? I'm just so nervous.. Millions of thought racing through my head and no way of putting them on here lol.. I'm just a little worried about the approval. Everyone tells me not to worry I'll be fine.. But heck there's always a little preoccupation ... What do you think .. I have Healt First. My BMI is at 47.. I weigh 253.. I gained maybe 10 lbs since I started in December.. Which I doubt would be a problem being that I need to lose a little weight before surgery..,

I started my two week pre-op liquid diet today. It is kind of weird but I am looking forward to this two weeks, because now it feels real...this is really, finally going to happen! I sometimes worry about all the things that I have read that could go wrong, but I am truly trying to focus on all the things that will be good after, and the opportunity to really live my life without having to always worry about what my weight will and will not allow me to do. For the first time in years...I am looking to the future with optimism. June 6th here I come.

I sometimes think the same way as well.. Just that you were already approved, I'm in tht waiting game. Plus my papers haven't been submitted yet. I'm almost done I have my psych Eval next week and that has me worried because you never know what to expect from those people... But I'm going with my head held high, positive, and confident!!!!! God is on my side ????????????

      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.
