My nutritional visit is over and I have been cleared by my registered dietitian for surgery. She said that normally they have patients come back for more classes and questions but I did not need to I was more than ready I am so proud and I am so ready. Now I am off to my psyche Val!

Ok psych eval done!! It consisted of 4 different "test" as she called them. Questions that are completely normal and ok to HONESTLY answer. She then talked with me and then said that she's not the one who makes the final decision about the surgery but just gives her report to the dr. She did say that I seem to understand the seriousness of the surgery and the life long effects it will have. All in all I feel 100% awesome about it and it took about 2hrs!!

      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.
