Hello everyone, I am on my 6 month journey to get the gastric bypass ( at least that's the one I want) I've seen my dietician , physical therapist, and counselor for a month now so ( more to go. My biggest challenge is the amount of weight I have to loose. I was 292 when my doc submitted my paperwork to insurance so that is the weight they go by..... But..... I then quit smoking and my weight shot up to 317 but they are going by 5% of my body weight of submitted paperwork!! I'm currently 298 almost back to prior quit smoking still have like 22 pounds to go.

My doctor gave me Zyban to quit, hope I spelt that right. Anyway I took it for a month each week cutting my amount I would smoke a day starting with week one 20 a day week two was 15 a day and so on... I had gym through the house and car and walk when it got bad. Still gained weight but I made it. Oh and my favorite app for tracking calories fat carbs ect.. Is mynetdiary love it keeps me on track my NUT was impressed with it.

      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.
