I honestly don't know what month mine will be. I have seen Nut (twice) and psych and need to see psych and exercise specialist in March. I have no idea what will come after that. Any ideas? Lol

Just now starting mine. I go to my first Nutritionist visit tomorrow. 6 month supervised diet. Surgery not expected until July or August. Ugh long wait but I'm using this time to adjust my eating habits and hopefully tighten or tone my skin prior. This way maybe not have to much loose skin afterwards and be more prepared for the drastic change. I've seen girls go in and have sugery fairly quick and their results were not good. One girl lost weight and didn't commit to the change and gained it all back. I am going to follow step by step and hoping my willpower is strong to stick with it.

Not until late October or early November for me, I need to wait for my 12 month waiting period with my insurance to be up

Aussie here, too - my 12 months is up on 2 December 2015. The wait is killing me!

Depends on how long you have to see the NUT. I had to do 6 visits. I could do one a month or twice a month. I ended up doing mostly once a month, with the last 3 appts every 2 weeks. You have to complete all your pre-Op tests, and get whatever clearances they require (mine required cardio, which I had to do an echocardio, stress test.. and pulmonology, which required a sleep study and a breathing test.. blood tests.. I have to do an endoscopy.. a psych clearance.. I thought I'd be done in 4 months.. but my friend said probably more like 6-8 months, and my first appointment was in September, and I should be scheduled for March.

      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.
