Yea I am at the Ming office as well. My orientation last Tues was great! Everyone has been so helpful. How long did it take to get your surgery date?

I have my last class on May 9th that's like a graduation day class and I'm pretty sure I am going to be the biggest loser or pretty close to one of the people that wins some type of prize they're going to give the biggest loser something everybody keeps telling me it's me so far in the class I have lost 44 pounds at orientation if we go by that weight it's almost 48 pounds I started at 291 and today I am at 243. They let me actually make my surgeon appointment where I meet with the surgeon and that is on May 16th. I am going with Dr Naik.
I am so excited for my Tuesday class I can't wait and then I'm super excited for my surgeon appointment and I talked with the girl in the office at the surgeons office and she said depending on what type of liquid diet he puts me on hopefully it's only for 3 days since I've lost so much weight but it could be a week or longer than I should be able to have surgery right after that I'm hoping by the end of MayI will definitely let everybody know when I get my surgery date.

      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.
