I go to see the surgeon on 3/17/16 to see about scheduling my surgery. I'm excited and nervous.

I know I'll at least have a 2 week liquid diet before the surgery, so my wait isn't quite over. I'm glad that this lgbt group exists. I was searching for something like this. Glad to have found you all.

Congratulations that you are having your surgery soon. The toughest part is right now........the financing, the waiting, the endless appointments, the liquid diet, the nerves and the worry. Once you get past a few days post op, you will wonder where that first year went. Welcome to the new you!

Going a lot better than expected. The Water is the hard part. Not getting enough Water in and still having to pee all the time.

I'm glad that its going well for you, for the most part. I am a little worried about it because I cannot lose very much weight during my 10 day liquid diet or I will not qualify. If I lose more than 10 lbs I'm screwed basically. How much weight have you lost so far?

I've lost about 10 lbs but I have been trying to lose the weight. Exercising a lot on top of the diet.

      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.
