I have my preop appointments on Tuesday... I don’t think much time goes between moments of thinking about the surgery... and thereafter... it’s so surreal. My first appointment with my primary was June 2016, but due to my husband’s health we put it off until January ... I called to schedule an appointment and we were at mayo for my husband’s checkup and it was a snow day... it was pretty quiet and people probably canceled - well it worked in my favor. We left that day and I had met with the endocrinologist and set 3 appointments for the following week to meet with the nutritionist, psych eval and endo again ... then I started my 12 week emotional behavioral weight management sessions that Friday, she happened to have a cancelation and could fit me in... it’s all been rolling along. The longest time I’ve had without contact with Mayo was after I was approved.... until this Tuesday. I’ve been smoke-free since January 10th. My weight on the day I met with the endo Dr on the first visit was 291 lbs. my weight at my primary annual exam last week was 273 lbs.
anyone else care to share their journey ?

Cookies n cream Protein Shake that sounds so good. I will start the liquid diet on the 9th. I hope I can stick to it, I have a fatty liver anyway. So I hope there's no problem when my surgeI on performs my surgery.

Cookies and Cream should really be in quotes lol do they ever really taste like their title chocolate lava, cookies and cream, vanilla lol wooohooo for Protein Shakes

My day is coming up super fast and these nerves are kicking in overdrive! October 4th!!!! And to think today is the 2nd.... OMG! I'm beyond excited but I am so unbelievably scared of something going wrong during surgery and not seeing my husband and three kids again.
Anyone else having surgery in two days on October 4th?

Everything went great. I came home from the hospital yesterday afternoon. All I can say is gas pains are NO joke! And I'm definitely out of breath and drained of energy super fast, just walking to the bathroom I lose my breath. But I'm on this journey to a healthier, happier Me.

      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.
