Hi everyone! Found this app and already posted a question on here and got many answers within an hour! So excited to be a part of this wonderful support system.

As for my journey, I had my consultation yesterday and my psych evaluation next Friday! Hoping to have the surgery beginning of November. Anyone else had WLS when they were in their 20's-30's?

Hello! I'm new as well. I'm 23, and my RNY is just a little over a week away. I can barely contain my excitement! I have yet to really explore this place or make any friends but I can already tell it's a pretty invaluable resource. Feel free to message me anytime if you'd like someone to talk to! :)

I'm also 28 and working to get approved for WLS. Already went to the consultation, and the psych evaluation and now just doing my 6 months of dr supervised weight loss.

Hey, y'all! I'm also just beginning the process! I am 27 years old. I have a 3 yr old son and I am a Phlebotomist. (I draw blood!) I have been to the Seminar, Education class, 1st Dr visit, and my Psych Evaluation is scheduled for September 3rd. I hopefully, will not have to do a Dr supervised diet! I'm so excited to finally be on the path to doing something for myself, for a change! :D Good luck, y'all!

      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.
