Between the Drs and my health ins someone dropped the ball on the 12 of July they told me I couldn't have it on the 14 after doing 12 days on a liquid diet.< /p>

My new date is the 25 and this is my 3rd day in the liquid diet and this time is harder then the last

Maybe try adding more Protein Powder. Are you allowed to have liquid Soups such as egg drop soup/strained ? It is very filling.

You need to fight thru it. This is your first real test of your full commitment to your future. You will have head hunger after surgery, the best thing to do now and then is to keep busy. When your "hungry", drink Water and distract yourself. The more you focus on food the worse it's going to get. Don't give in. If you truly want this, you need to prove it to yourself.

Yeah that preop diet is rough. What kept me on it was the fact that if I didn't lose enough weight preop, that my surgery COULD be canceled (yikes!). Hang in there!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
