Dont know what I am feeling. Mixture of doubt and excitement. Highest weight now and I don't know what else to do. Get xrays and ekg same day. Then dietician about a week from now. Got psych paperwork to fill out. I never binged on food so some of the questions seemed aimed at that. I make poor choices and dont exercise. Any one else feel that way?

I was actually going sleeve but I am leaning towards band. My family wants me to be able to reverse the procedure if I need to down the road. I am looking at about 100 to 125 to lose. I also cant afford to miss alot of work. So band seems to be it.

I just took my psychiatric evaluation this last Friday. Yes they have some odd questions. But i just answered honestly. My test was 450 questions. Waiting for results and have an procedure class next week. I am excited and nervous. The nurse at the Docs office said I should have my surgery the beginning of January. After approval of course. Just wish time would move faster. I'm just excited to get the ball rolling on weight loss and a new healthier me!

      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.
