So, today was my consultation with my surgeon. I was so nervous because I was supposed to lose 25 pounds and I've only lost 22. BUT everything went well. We discussed which surgery was right for me and he agreed with me when I said I wanted bypass surgery. I'm a sugar freak and he agreed that the bypass was the better choice. He explained a few things I already knew, I asked all the questions I needed to ask. My number one concern was... When can I go to Disneyland? Lol. He said right after but please please please remember to drink drink drink or you'll end up in the hospital the next day for dehydration.

Anyway, my surgery date is May 24, but I am on the cancellation list. Who knows maybe I can get surgery earlier. It's finally real to me. It's finally happening and I am so excited.

Just wanted to express my happiness.

Yes! So even with the delay I had, I got my date for 7 weeks after I graduated. I think you'll have a good chance getting your surgery by August 1

Ohhhh yes... I was on a 12 week supervised diet plan. They weighed me every week. I had to eat 1200-1400 calories a day. Lately, I've been having the same as you're doing now. 2 shakes and a meal to make weight for my consultation. And yes I agree about the head aches. I get so moody. I really hope the head aches aren't this bad after surgery since we won't be eating a lot. I will be doing the 2 shakes and one meal up until surgery.

Are you having an pre-op education appointment too? Mine is Tuesday

I wrote down all my questions in my phone so I wouldn't forget anything. Also, I recorded my whole appointment because I didn't want to forget anything he said. I have heard it twice and there are a few things i didn't remember him saying.. Lol.. Maybe I was too nervous. But still... It's so exciting at the same time.

I hope your appointment goes great!

      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.
