Hi! My surgery is July 13, next week I start the liquid diet 2 weeks, I hope this the right decision I really think so its mostly for my health diabetes and my heart the extra weight?? so I know its the right choice just wish it was over and I was on my way DOWN . I am retired so I have a lot of time to think about it I sit and wonder how thin I well get if it well be really hard hoping I don't get sick. Anyway can't worry about something that's not in our hands.Good luck to you and lets keep in touch.

Oh Juno5 where R U up north? We love it up there we did own a cabin on Leavitt Lake by the big Roosavelt. We love all the summer garage sales and shopping in Nisswa,going into Brainard for shopping or movie, we would go to casino at northern lights in Walker, shopping in Walker was fun all those neat brands!!! now we can walk into a store (soon) and we well have sizes to wear or buy.We liked the beach in Walker they had vendors and nice sand my grandchildren loved playing there. You live in Gods Country up there????

      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.
