I finally did the last thing that they wanted, to get my A1C down. I did, from 8.9 to 6.9, amazing !!

Now will wait to hear when I can see the surgeon. I am so excited and feel like I am finally moving forward.

My NUT said no gummies because those Vitamins are not as high quality and the gummies have a lot of carbs for what you get. Boo. But I changed over to the nasty Bariatric Advantage chewables and I haven't died yet but I do screw up my face every day when I chew them.

I just wanted to duck in here and claim my seat in the 50s group. I turned 50 last summer and still don't feel like I am mentally there yet. Physically, I was falling apart.

I was sleeved on April 20 and couldn't be happier with my recovery and progress so far.

When I turn 51 this summer, I will definitely be in a different place physically.

This is the year I regain my mobility and start to get my life back!

      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.
