I am so excited. I got my referral from my pcp this morning. Going to seminar the 25th. I am so ready to get some help with all these chronic health problems. After all my research, my biggest concern is my age. I am 65, but maybe I will feel younger once I feel better and not like pillsbury dough girl. This cold has really been getting worse, along with the diabetes. Will be on here to share my trip and share yours with you. :)

i feel healthier and happier!!

many of your health issues will improve

others will completely disappear!!

ie high blood pressure, diabetes

knees, walking etc should improve too

don't worry about your age

your as young as you feel, right??

as you lose weight you will feel better too

FYI/suggestion

keep a journal/blog with everything good and bad :rolleyes:

you experience pre-op and post-pos

also take your measurements

period transformation pictures (monthly etc)

and of course keep track of your weight

your excitement/joy shines through my monitor

looking forward to hearing about your journey

Thanks for your reply Kathy. I haven't seen many on here my age. I am just so excited to start. Yes, I actually have to have MRI tomorrow. My knees are killing me, but they said it's coming from 3 ruptured discs in my back and not really my knees. Oh yes, I will probably document everything. Like today, I have been off and on here all day soaking up info. Plus get rid of the shots and all these pills. Sometimes I think they make you sick when there's so many. I will keep in touch as I go along. You too.

      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.
