DonaiA- best wishes on a speedy approval for your surgery. I was lucky and didn't have to go through the supervised diet. I can't believe my sleeve is just a month away!

Overall it has been good. I have had a couple.. Only a couple of I wish I hadn't did this.. That's because my mind wanted to eat , eat , eat... However I'm not even hungry.. It's battling the mind...I wouldn't change a thing.. I have lost 22lbs..

Hi, I am also from NC and I have my first appointment with the surgeon on Monday the 19th. I am hoping that I won't have to have a long supervised diet, but I keep telling myself that even if it is six months from now, that is better late than never!

I'm going through SE Bariatrics too but Dr. Kolosch(sp) is doing my sleeve.

Hello everyone! I'm in the Raleigh area and just had my consult yesterday at Bariatric Surgeons of NC (in Cary). Looks like I have a 6 month weight check/supervision required by insurance so my last check will be oct 21st. I imagine surgery sometime in November.

I was expecting a 3 months supervised diet but turned out to be 6, not too bad though bc I'm still trying to get my hubby on board ????

      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.
