Pink peonies, i only lost 30lbs, but I did great on other tests!! This place is all about making the changes, not weight loss ! So it's nice! But this waiting for the last couple appts is killing me, and oh ya the 1200 cal diet I'm on makes me feel hungry

ALL THE TIME ???? I feel bad for my other half, as iv been saying lately, don't piss off the lady starving her self or come between her and HER food! I feel like I'm going to go crazy ????, how is everyone else doing with pre op diets?? Is it me or is this hard? I know it's to shrink the the liver but it still sucks!!

It's hard but you're getting it done. I have to start planning and doing that too. I have my one on one on the 15th which is when I'll find out if I have a pre-diet but I plan on starting Monday regardless.

Yay, KrissieAnn, We share an awesome date! I'm super excited for the big day. Little nervous and I get some butterflies about it at times but I guess that's prob normal. I'm having a hard time keeping it to myself. Haven't really told anyone about it and I really don't want to. I may fess up after but for now, I'm holding my big fat secret to myself.

I have been feeling the same way!! i've told maybe 12 people in total that I was going for the surgery and probably 8 of those people know that I have a date scheduled but I have told everybody that it's just a temporary date, until the pre-op nurse calls and give's me my times I'm not holding my breath even though there's no reason why I shouldn't be able to have the surgery that day it's still just another waiting game! That puts you on pins and needles!

Pinkpeonies- good news is the hunger pains are not so bad anymore !! ???? everything is working out actually really good although I had to make a note when I go to eat something that might be a little more higher fat or have a higher carb content it does not agree with me at all my body in this week has like flushed the bad out !!

Welcome prettyinPinkandGreen!!!

I had my psych eval today. If that doesn't make you crazy, I don't know what will! :wacko: I know its needed, but it just seemed a little much for the surgery. Anyway, next is my appointments for the blood work, ekg and clearance from my PCP. I'm worried that, because I have type 1 diabetes, my A1C may come back high and then they will postpone the WLS. So, if y'all can send some prayers, good vibes, positive thoughts, etc. this way for the 27th, it would greatly appreciated!

Here's to (with fingers crossed) I stay on track with surgery August 26th! :)

SassyTassy, good luck I bet it will all work out, I know it's hard, but keep up the good work ! one of the reason I'm getting my surgery is Cus my A1C has been managed by diet and exercise for the past eight months!!

My dr changed my pre op diet to 4 weeks ???? apparently I'm to live like a rabbit lol worst part is I have to start the pre-op diet three days before a friend of mine gets me so no wedding food for 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.
