Awesome! I am so happy for you! It will be an absolutely amazing journey. I can't wait to follow your progress. I urge you to check out my blog. There is a series of three posts about how I prepared for my surgery. I think you would find them very helpful.

Best of luck to both of you!

My one bit of advice post-op is to get up and get moving as soon as you are able to after surgery. I really helps with the healing process. Best of luck and keep us posted!!!

Thanks everyone! Any tips or words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated. Mama, we can keep check on each other. Can I ask where you are starting from and where you live?

I live in Marianna FL and I am in my 2nd month of pre-op process. Getting appointments done. I see a psychiatrist tomorrow for my evaluation. Then next week I see a physical therapist. They said it would be a 3 month wait for approval so fingers crossed. I need this surgery desperately bc I have lymphedema in both legs so I can't be as physical as I want to to get the weight off so this is my next option. I'm ready to start a new healthier and happy life. It will be like being reborn:)

      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.
