I’m pre-Preop. I just signed up for a seminar to learn more about the different surgical options (I’m pretty sure I’ll opt for bypass, but Im willing to learn more) and start the process. Unfortunately, I won’t get a referral until after 3 January (I can’t get in before then.)

I’m 52, have six great kids, 4 awesome grandkids, and in July 2016 I decided to end my marriage of 31 years. This is another step on my my journey to get my life back!

Hang in there....it does go by pretty fast.... Hard to believe mine is only 9 days away now... You got this!!!

I am just about on the same track as you. Just finished my 2nd nutrition class and making appointments for the rest. I am not very patient though, I know I have to wait until May but I would love to go sooner.

I hear you, I'd love for it to happen sooner but every appointment brings you closer. Best wishes!

      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.
