Hello So this is weird for me because usually people come to me for advice I usually dont like posting my life but Im in a need of an advice. So, I'm schedule for surgery on September 22 2016 and when I went to the surgery doctor at the end of February I was 331lb I just came out of a regular doctor I weighted 338 and it has been weird cause Im not eating like I used to. So Im not sure if this has happened to anyone before. The only good thing is that my insurance is not tracking my weight but I still dont want to used this as an excuse to gain weight until my surgery day. Any good advice on what should I do.....

I have my surgery scheduled for Sept 26th, not too nervous yet, maybe the beginning of Sept I'll start to get nervous. I'm in Virginia. Wish you all the best of luck on your surgery.

I'm scheduled for Sept 15 and my boyfriend is August 25th. I have been nervous for a date and now that I have it I am excited.

I keep bouncing between the same 10 pounds. My psychiatrist recommend a LSCW who specializes in bariatric patients and wants me to work on my head hunger and how to tell when I am truly hungry.

Hello Everyone,

I was scheduled for September 12th, but they had a cancelation and now my surgery date is August 10, 2016. I may not be a Sept surgery anymore, but I can maybe give you insight as I go through my journey! My preop testing is July 26th, 2016. They told me even though my surgery date is August 10, that I will get a phone call the night before to let me know what time I need to be at the hospital and what time my surgery will be. They expect that I will be in the hospital for at least one day. I am having the gastric bypass done.

I think at this point I am a bit nervous. I would say that is normal. I believe I also have some anxiety. I was told that it is possible to gain weight with anxiety. Maybe that is why my weight fluctuates.

I'm hoping for a September surgery. I have one more NUT appointment on the 31 of August then we can submit to insurance for approval. I really want to get it in September because my insurance deductible gets reset October 1.

you bet! Tired of dieting, starving myself just to gain everything plus more. I know I must commit to a changed life style, i know its no walk in the park. But I am So ready!

I wish I was as fat as I was the first time I felt fat.

      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.
