I had to do the 4 classes (which were very helpful and I would highly recommend them) in addition to attending at least one Support Group (I've continued going beyond the one required as I found them even more helpful than the classes). I also had to have blood drawn and an EKG. My PCP also referred me to the sleep lab while I was going through the classes where I discovered I had sleep apnea and was prescribed a CPAP machine.

I have my first group session on November 30th looking forward to learning everything I can. This is a huge lifestyle change and I want as many tools as I can get.

Just got back from my psych eval. Beat my goal weight by 5 pounds and waiting on a call from my case manager to schedule the appointment for my surgery. So excited/scared/nervous at the same time!

That message was actually for the other person who said that they will be in the class on the 29th. When I wrote it I didn't know how to reply on this app but I got it now. Blessings to you as well, take care!

      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.
