:)Hi everyone just thought that I would fill you all in to let you know that I have a date for surgery and that I was approved by my health care provider:clap2:Looks like it will be the first week in September for me and I cannot wait. I was told that here might be a spot in late August if someone cancels out but I will take the September date for I ahve been waiting a long time for this to happen for me and to start losing weight and getting healthier, my health has always been number one in my book.

I have been exercising getting ready to pump my stereo volumn up and do some dance moves after Im get off the computer. I have been watching my Water intake like I ma supposed to do and I have been on my liquid diet I decided to try it myself to lose some weight on my own before surgery and so far I am down 15 pounds which for me is great. I have my shake twice per day and then I will have my dinner I have been eating fish, white fish that I either broil or bake, no deep fried or greasy foods but then I never was a fan of that stuff anyway. I eat my veggies, no breads pastas and for me being Italian can be hard but I just leave it all be.

So how has everyone been doing? I read as much as I can of everyone comments and all I can say is not to give up becasue there is a brighter side wating for all of us. I remember that my weight did not happen over night and I know that it will not come off over night this is the real world. Well anyway just wanted to let everyone know that I have a date which is great. Have a good one

thanks Julie I am sure going to give this a college try sort to speak. I started out at 270 pounds not proud of that and I am currently at 255 pounds. My game plan is to be 25 pounds lighter before surgery and I thnk I can do it as long as I keep motivated. Sharon

      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.
