So my last nut class and weight management was Wednesday July 20th is haven't had my edg yet but the guy at my surgeons office says that he can put my down for August 26th then he was like I see you had your last class I said yes he was like well we will submit your paperwork to insurance and if everything goes well and I get approved they will do my bypass surgery on August 26th so now I'm freaking out on this waiting game I'm trying to stay positive I hope everything works out and I get approved I really need this surgery I've done everything to lose weight on my own since I was 6 but I've always gained double back, I suffer from high blood pressure, osteoarthritis, and a bad back injury from being hit by a drunk driver which requires me to get back injections every month which don't work my bmi is 50 so I'm hopping I can get it done. Please keep me in yalls prayers and positive vibes

      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.
