Just received my surgery date today! 2/22! Putting through insurance next week! Excited but all of a sudden nervous! Anxious about the insurance approval, the surgery itself, and life afterwards but my excitement certainly outweighs the worries. Would be great to find a few people going through it around the same time! ????

we share the same date. Yayy!
awesome MsVanessa! Let's keep in touch! I just got my insurance approval today so it's game time! So excited!

I really am so thrilled for everybody here. I can't wait to hear about the few days leading up, Then surgery, I really want to know what everybody feels like, eat, body/stomach adjustment.....everything for the 7 days post op. That I am unclear on completely. I know what my diet will be like, but I am anxious to know about energy levels. Also, one of my biggest fears is feeling parched. I am such an iced tea with splenda guzzler. So many people are worried about food cravings, I am worried about how not having 8 Tervis Tumbles of iced tea and splenda a day is going to unfold for me.

Wishing everybody all the best. Keep us posted on all things amazing new chapter of life.

My surgery date is 2/9/16. I'm pretty nervous but excited all at the same time. A little stress since I just lost my job but have decided I want to continue on this journey so that I can have a healthier 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.
