I go on December 21st for my first appointment at the University of Chicago, so I'm hoping my surgery--if accepted into the program--will be early 2017.

I am scheduled for gastric sleeve on January 24th, 2017 in Columbus @

THE Ohio State University... GO BUCKS :) I have already been approved by Aetna and just had my pre-op appt with my surgeon yesterday. The surgeons office submitted my short-term disability to my work already today and I've have been approved for that as well. I think life is looking better and better and I am looking forward to springtime/summer with me being more confident in short sleeves and capri's!! One of my short term goals being off work for a while is hoping for more energy is to clean my closet. I am sick of the clutter, the shoes that fell on the floor and no energy or desire to clean it out bc I'm tired, lazy, and nothing fits anyways. I will have "new to me" clothes as I lose weight... out of my own closet ;).


Can someone tell me how you start a new topic on bariatric pal? I can't figure out how to do it on my computer or on my iphone app. I'm lost! LOL

Mine is scheduled for March. Haven't scheduled the exact day yet but I am planning on a vacation to Disney before hand. Can't wait! Thankfully with my insurance I only had to wait 4 months from consult to surgery!

Yay! Congrats

When you are on the regular forum, there should be a pencil in the lower corner of you are using your phone to view. That will allow you to start a new topic

      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.
