Hey everyone! I'm halfway through my mandatory preop classes. It's taking forever! Lol. I'm so ready. Not doing great with the mandatory preop weight loss. Also, nervous about the psych evaluation! Trying to get everything scheduled. I really want my surgery by January! 6 more weeks of preop classes to go and all of the testing. *cross fingers *

It seems like it takes forever. I have my last Nut visit on the 13th then I meet with the surgeon and its submitted to the insurance company. I'm hoping for early December. I'm down about 5 lbs which is not much but there hasn't been a gain so that's all that matters. I'm so nervous, scared and ready. It's like a roller coaster.

Congrats on yr January date. I have scheduled my surgery on January 12th. My preoperative class is November 18th. I asked my dietitian for a trial pre surgery list. My greatest fear is that I will not follow thru on my liquids. 64 Oz of water! But I have been staying with on task since my appt.10-28. My sister gifted to me her old fitbit. Counting my calories on fitbit and myfitneeepal make my life easier. Well gotta go 16 Oz of Water to go before bed. Keep strong all the best to you.

Beck Gal, congrats on your date!

My insurance requires 6-month diet before surgery, so my pre-op educational class will be in December and surgery some time in January (gastric sleeve). Nervous. Super nervous I'll mess up the diet and/or lower my BMI and my insurance company will retract coverage.

      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.
