Hi there,

My doctor is in Parker also. Dr. Matthew Metz. He is awesome. :) How much are you looking to lose? I am sure you will make it in December.

I am wanting to lose 150 lbs. I have always been active, but this year I have actually started to feel my weight is slowing me down. I always promised myself that if I ever felt that my weight was slowing me down that I would do the surgery.

I'm in Colorado Springs. I attend a support group on Ft Carson. Sorry, I don't know of any groups off base.

I am In Castle Rock. My surgery pre-appointment is 11-13-2014. I should find out my surgery date (i'm hoping for the second week in December) I want to lose about 95 lbs and get into a size 34 jeans. I have completed my 6 weeks of classes and tried out the liver shrinking diet. Biggest fear- the surgery not resolving my diabetes, A close second is lactose intolerance. My BMI is 36.

Sorry for the delay in response. I am looking to lose 100 lbs. My surgery is scheduled for 11/24. I am getting super nervous. Do you know when your surgery date is yet?

      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.
