Guys,

My first weight loss surgery seminar post-309763-14834621830624_thumb.jpgis going to be on Jan. 10 2017. It's actually at the hospital I work for. I am Neonatal RN. I have been thinking about this surgery for a while now and come to find out the hospital I work for does it and covers it 100% for all employees if qualified of course.

However, I am a little nervous and apprehensive. i just wanted to know what to expect and if you guys have any tips or suggestions. Also if you would like to share any experiences of your first weight loss seminar. Please feel free. Thanks.

Hi! My I attended my first seminar in July 2016..It was super informative and my surgeon held a QandA session afterwards.. It was what helped me make the final decision to have surgery.

My seminar was on the exact same date. I had done so much research that I didn't hear anything new. Meeting the surgeon and his staff was great as they were all very nice! Made me feel very comfortable. The surgeon was very down to earth and super friendly. Good luck on your journey! Read as much about it as you can and watch people who have had it on YouTube, the good and the bad. Knowledge is power. God Bless!

      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.
