I am in the middle of playing the insurance game. If all goes well I SHOULD be sleeved by April. Keep those fingers crossed for me. :) but right now I am in the bath (teehee) thinking, gosh won't it be great after I loose all this weight to just enjoy a bath?! I know you guys know what I mean. I have no room in this tub. I just barely fit. But gosh darn it, I had a rough day. I want a bath with candles and tea. I just can't wait for it to be even better when I can add more Water and not be afraid it all sloshes out when I get it. That I can relax down and have most of my body actually covered instead of cold. Anyone else excited for just enjoying a bath?

I do I love baths and at my heaviest I could not take one because I could not get out. I took one for the first time in months and it felt so good to just chill and not worry how am I getting out.

I like just having more room to move around in the shower! I hated bumping in to a wall.

To have room in the bath = awesome.

I miss my baths so bad! I stopped because I had trouble bending my knee to get out. I am hoping with substantial weight loss I'll be able to try again. Knee replacement is after this surgery. I just miss it so much with hot bubbly Water and my People magazine !

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
