So i went in today and i talked to the surgeon and he approved me for my date! he weighted me and talked to me and then said that he had one opening in October. it was a lot sooner then i thought it was going to be, i was pretty sure he was going to tell me that he didn't have an opening til perhaps around December maybe January if he didn't want to do it at the end of the year...but OCTOBER! its like right around the corner and i am so happy and feel like there is so much that i need to get done before that happens. I feel a huge amount of pressure but accomplishment because i HAVE worked very hard to lose 24lbs in a matter of a few months, i want to continue to lose before i go in too. I still have to go in for my pre-op and that is on the 13 of Oct, and because that is more then 30 days away i have to re do blood tests but that's about it everything else is clear. So that's my Happy news for the day, i hope every one else has had a good day.

      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.
