Today is my last supervised visit and I have absolutely everything completed. The surgery coordinator will be submitting my paperwork for approval on Monday 8/17/2015. I am sooooo nervous and excited! I am hoping to get some good vibes sent my way to keep my nerves calm

You know, I have had a lot of surgeries in my life. Several very big scary ones. With this particular surgery I never got that anxiety that I have had with others. I was way more excited about getting that part done with so I could get my health back.

Try to keep that excited feeling, the surgery was a piece of cake for me personally. Once it is done you get to start a whole new chapter in your life where you get your health back and feel great in a very short amount of time.

You are going to do great! Go in to it with a positive attitude and you will recover quickly!

Good luck to you and see you in the losers club

I can't wait for you to experience that feeling..it's going to hit you like a ton of bricks! It's a huge sigh of relief and you feel accomplished. All of the hard work you've done to get to this point is worth every minute.

And then it only gets better from there :)

Keep us posted!! xo

      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.
