I predict you will get confetti and a brass band from your surgeon. If you don't, you ought to. Please check in and tell us what they said!

My appointment went great. My surgeon wasn't there of course (I figured I wouldn't see him again unless I had complications) but I did see him a few weeks ago at a book signing and he seemed happy with my progress.

The good news: of my labs come back ok I can drop most of my supplements except for the Multivitamin.

The other cool thing is that I have lost enough for my BMI to actually be on the chart on the wall.

I want to thank each of you for the kind words and encouragement. It means a lot to me. I couldn't do it without you.

@@Inner Surfer Girl,

You are a model patient! If you don’t get at least an “atta girl,” you come right back here for even more encouragement and praise than you’ve already gotten!

Thank you for sharing your journey with us. You have made such incredible progress, and you really are an inspiration. You also contribute so much to this community, so thank you for that!

And now, I see that you have come back from your appointment with good news. Congratulations on taking care of yourself well enough to be able to drop most of your supplements! And nice job getting onto the BMI chart! It’ll be fun to see you getting to the other end of that chart as you keep heading towards goal weight. :)

Congrats again!

      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.
