I'm hoping my date of Nov. 16th will be okay. I'll be going to Mexico. I originally was scheduled with a different doctor, but due to negative press in abundance lately I've decided to switch my surgeon. I'm really looking forward to November buddies!!

Anyone else feel like the waiting is watching paint to dry? Yesterday I got my hair done and I looked at myself in the mirror and I was so sad at how heavy I am. I Usually love getting my hair done but I just felt like a fat person with good hair. It really hit me hard. I haven't mentioned it to anyone until now. November 30 is so far away.... Even if I start on my own I won't see great results.

Went to my first support group today and it was a waist of time, I guess it was because they had a gust speaker. Did not learn anything at all. Hopefully the next one is better.

Hi everyone. I should be having my surgery in November. I have the last of my 6 dietician appointments on 9/25 then they can submit me to insurance. I cannot wait! It has been a long process!

Woo Hoo!!!! Finally some buddies. My surgery is November 12th. I chose that date because it worked best for taking the two weeks off of work. I already know insurance won't pay for mine so I have chosen a surgeon a friend used in Mexico.

And yes! I am enjoying ALL my favorite foods now. I start my two week liquids right before Halloween.

Here's to better health.....later. :)

where in Mexico are you going?

      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.
