Hi everyone I'm new to the group but so proud to be here. My date is Dec 5 with Dr Clayton Frenzel in Arlington , to but my surgery will be at hospital in Plano, TX. I'm so excited yet so nervous as well . I started out weighing242 lbs and I am 5'6.... did my 4 months of dietician visits and I managed now to get down to 223 lbs... I know I have a pre op diet and I'm going to lose more weight with that ... my goal weight is 150 lbs and to wear a size 8 or maybe 6...I want to go into my 40's healthy and happy. I'm 38 now but birthday jan5.. so looking forward to sharing this journey with all of you. This is a great means of support because no one understands the surgery at all. They give you all of these sly insults so I just chose to keep it to myself.

      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.
