:rolleyes: Surgery date is September 14th.

Let me just say....my therapist is certainly earning her money with me! I am all over the place! My food addict is whispering in my ear every damn day, trying to hold on for dear life. It is trying to plant doubt, hopelessness, fear and anger

9/14/15 Lets go!

Thank you Choosehope! Honestly, I wished more people facing surgery would and/or could get a therapist for the long haul. Surgery is the start of facing the demons that got us to this desperation. goodbye to our best bud - carbs and sugars!

My doctors group submitted to insurance a week ago, I asked them to submit before they thought I would get approved. I was told by the surgeons group, and several insurance reps that I needed to do a 6 month program, but I only did 3 and I was approved! Surgery is scheduled for 9/29. So excited!

      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.
