I got my date today! August 11th. I live in SC but am going to FL to see Dr Taggar, about 10 hours away.

I'm low bmi, and I tried to go the insurance route, but it didn't work out, so I'm now self pay ($8899). I have really high BP, cholesterol and arthritis. I am definitely not a healthy fat person! I'm an unhealthy "not that fat" person (as some love to say). And I look forward to changing my relationship with food.

I have a ton of work to do, online psych evaluation, visit my PCP for EKG, blood work and clearance. Oh, and do a pre op nutrition class via Facebook live.

No real pre op diet, but I've been doing shakes a few times a day for over a month. I will probably do my own liquid diet a few days ahead of time. I've lost 10# so far.

I have no clue how to navigate this site. Maybe because I'm using a phone? Whatever the case, an FB group would be great! My surgery is 8/28 in NJ. /jb

      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.
