If all goes well with my psych appointment and visit with the surgeon this week, I'm hoping to have mine at Temple by the end of this year....how much are you hoping to lose?

Temple is actually really close to where I live but I've been going to Jefferson for years so I figured I'd get my stuff done there. I'm hoping to get a date by the end of the year or beginning of January at the latest. If I could lose at least 75lbs, I'll be happy

Well, best of luck to you! I had to reschedule both of my appts because I woke up a hour AFTER I was supposed to be at my pysch appt.....Now that appointment isn't till the end of Dec 2016 and the surgeon is in Jan 2017......hoping that I'll get a date by the end of Jan 2017 tho....going on a cruise in April 2017! I started at 220lbs (size 16/18), am now at 208lbs (14)-hoping to lose whatever I need to be a size 8/10 or even a 6/8! I'm only 5'2", so that'll be a nice change!

@@ladygg1967 not sure who the question was for but I'm doing alright. I'm 8 days post op. Gas pain is gone (thank God) and now just feel "uncomfortable" but not in too much discomfort if that makes any sense. Now I'm just trying to deal with this rash I've developed around my incisions and on the sides of my belly.

      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.
