That's great and good luck to you! I don't meet with the surgeon until mid September but I have met with the rest of the team already and I can't wait to go forward with this process.

Thanks for the replies Dreamin_again & Proudgrammy. Dreamin_again we should be close on our surgery dates. You will have keep me informed on your progress.

Proudgammy, I have done my researech and this is the right choice for me unless something comes out of the medical work-up later that may require a change. I do not see that as likely. I overheard one nurse tell the other refering to me " you will like him he is very organized and knows what he wants" yesterday.

Sorry but I guess that is the engineer in me. All things important requires a plan, and even complicated things when broken down in steps are made easy. So whats a little time and effort to get our just end results!

That's good news. Yes it does get very busy with the appointments. It's starting to slow down a little bit for me now. At least I don't have multiple appts in a week of even a day. Right now it's just one a week next few weeks. Keep us posted.

      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.
