Hi Kelly, congrats on starting your journey!! I'm around the same height as you, and about 4 months post op. I've lost four dress sizes so far so the tricky part has been acquiring new clothes through swaps, thrifts and good ol fashion retail therapy. :)

Do you have any questions about what to expect? Or are you worried about anything in particular?

You go girl! That's really amazing! I went to a post op/pre op support group tonight and they answered all my questions which is great. I'm sure I will still have more along the way but I will reach out. How do you feel, how was recovery? For you personally what has been the hardest part?

Hey Kelly!

I'm Crystal...also from NY...Brooklyn to be exact. I literally decided to have WLS 3 weeks ago after 5 years of thinking about it. Met with my primary care provider today to start my 6 month diet and this Saturday I have a meeting with a weight loss surgeon.

If my calculations are correct...I should be eligible for surgery April of 2015....and thats not soon enough lol

Congrats on your December surgery date!...Keep in touch!

That's awesome! I just got a call from my surgeon today that I have been bumped up to November 22nd. I thought I had to wait longer for insurance. So you never know with them. I'm super excited for you! I can't answer any questions now cause I'm still in pre-op and have a ton of questions myself but when I'm post-op I can help out if you need. Good luck on your journey! You go girl!

      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.
