I'll be thinking about you on Thursday!

I was self pay also & they scheduled my surgery very quickly, I think within a month to 6 weeks.

Hoehn will be my Doctor too! My first consultation is tomorrow. Sooooo excited. So ready for this. Mentally preparing and ready for change. I have many questions for the nut already and have made plans for what I need to consider and do. It is so helpful to read others posts and hear about what to expect. I feel ready. Bring on the liquid diet ...proteins and veggies lets go!!! I'm gonna rock this! Anyone else feel this way before WLS? I see a lot worried or having second thoughts, I just wanna get this started and I'm so excited to reset my metabolism and start my journey!

I'm from St. Louis. Dr. Eagon will be doing my surgery Feb 1 at BJ west. I am in the process of getting Vitamins and stocking the pantry. I found a great Protein Shake at the vitamen supplement store. The guys there let you try samples before purchasing. I like strawberry the best. I tried Isopure grape and did not like it at all. I also have orange and passion fruit also but I'm very hesitant to try . Does anyone have a favorite non flavored Protein Powder? Good Luck to Everyone!!!

Chris Eagon I had been trying to go to him at one point in my life. But he had a waiting list 5 yrs long. Then when it was finally my turn I paid cash for all dr visits then my ins. Denied my surgery. That was 10 yrs ago but I heard nothing but good things about him. Goodluck on your new life.

      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.
