My doctor is Dr. McEwen and he seems really nice and says this is the best thing I could do for my body. I have changed the way I eat and cutting back. I lost 12 pounds within 2 weeks of going back to the doctor. I wanted to get started on not eating like I use to so when they say go I am ready. He says it shouldn't be very long before he hear's from the insurance since I have been on this since the last of February. I sure do hope so. I can't wait.

I have been married for 20 years and have one son who will graduate High School next year.

It is nice to meet you and I hope we can talk again.

I am in Kansas now, but lived 37 years in NW Indiana...its nice to see a Hoosier on the board (I'll always be a Hoosier at heart!!)

I'll be watching for your "I'M APPROVED" post!!

This is where I am right now. But want to lose more than I have put down. I think I would look great at 120 since that was what I weighed before. I can't wait to get there!

      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.
