I have my 3 of 3 for pre-op visits today. tis is my last meeting with the surgeon before JUNE 1st. I'll mention that my weight has not moved since 4/29, I think ill be ok since I cant loose that 1bmi point that is keeping me above 40 until after surgery. Oh I may have missed it in this thread, is your surgery date still the same?

Yep still the same date. Did pre-op last week. Man what I wouldn't give for one small meal. I got weighed yesterday, but it wasn't very accurate so I'm going to weigh Friday and see if anything has moved.

So when I went to my last appointment today I have actually gained 2 pounds which could be from being bloated or stressed whatever but my surgeon doesn't seem to care or be worried about it at all as long as my BMI does not drop below 40 on the day of surgery I'm good to go I actually was told to go pick up my post-surgery prescriptions today a blood thinner and some medications for reducing acid One Step Closer

He is highly respected in this field.

Unfortunately he wouldn't take my insurance, however I found the perfect surgeon for me.

And sorry for being nosey, but given your username, I had to peak at your profile. You don't find many from our area on here. Lol

How far along are you in the process?

I'm in one for May/June. But honestly I'm thinking of leaving the group. Too many people looking for an excuse to eat whatever they want. Had someone a few weeks post op talking about drinking alcohol because it's a holiday.

      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.
