Hey everyone. I'm trying to get approved for a loan because I cannot afford to do this out of pocket all at once. I know I make plenty a month to afford the monthly loan payment but there are saying I only qualify for like a third of the cost without a co signer. I'm so bummed.... I was so excited to get this journey started... Keeping the hope though that I will find a cosigner soon! I wanna be able to be the best mom I can be to my 4 boys and right now I just an like half the mom I could be... I hate that feeling...

If you can afford the loan payments, then certainly see what you can do to start setting that amount aside in savings now. Since the pre-op process takes a while, you may have a good amount saved by the time you are ready for surgery.

      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.
