My name is Maggie, I'm from Florida. I'm currently 350 lbs at 5'7. I've got a bmi of 54.8. I'm set to go for surgery on August 26th, 2015 I'm so new at all of this, so I'm just trying to make it one day at a time. Anyone else out there with the same surgery date or tips???

I'm going with the gastric bypass. The doctor and I both agreed that is what would be best for me.

My stats are very similar to yours. I expect my surgery to be scheduled in September. Good luck during your prep period over the next few months.

Welcome to the team. I suggest you educate yourself as much as possible. I plan to have my surgery mid October of 2015. I can't wait!

Yeah, my doctor went ahead and scheduled out my surgery. I'm going through all of my doctors appointments right now. Today is the nutritionist. Just jumping through all of the hoops...

      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.
