Hi, I'm the one who is on for July 24th. I haven't seen others yet. What state are you in? I'm in South Florida. Dr Wizman is my surgeon. I am counting down the days on an iPhone app. Can't wait to get this done! I am trying to make some adjustments now in what I'm eating, but still gaining.

That's great Lite n Sweet! Welcome to the July 2014 club! Looks like you're the earliest in the month so far. You'll have to lead the way. I can't wait. I'm tired of carrying this weight around and ready to start getting rid of it. It's encouraging to see the success of people on this forum. It's also helpful to see the honesty of getting through the pre op and post op periods but it will be well worth it!

That's great fhawkins! We've got a good group going! Please share your experience so those of us later in the month can follow. I just did pre-op blood work today and get chest x-Ray Weds. Each appt gets me closer to the 24th. Just scheduled off work. I'll be out for 10 days which should be enough to start to recoup.

      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.
