Lol I've met a few Vermont people on here but not much. We are a small state and a lot of people here are hush hush about weight loss surgery

I'm from Vermont!

Oh cool!!! Where did you go for surgery? I live in East Dorset and I'm going to Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center in NH

So sorry that I didn't respond until now. I haven't been on the site much and didn't know how to get back to this thread. I am just 20 minutes from you in Pawlet. I have not had surgery yet. I am going through the long process (8 months), and if approved, will have surgery at UVM Medical in Burlington.

I live in Brattleboro and have just started the journey. I have BCBS of Vermont and attended the info session at Dartmouth Hitchcock in Lebanon last week. If all goes smoothly, I'll be eligible in mid-April and hopefully can have a surgery date by May.

      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.
