Hi and welcome relle2190. I'm the grandma of Bariatric Pal., although in your case I'm old enough to be your great grandmother. A little about my favorite subject:ME. I live in Mount Vernon Ohio a city of a little under 20000 people,don't know how many dogs and cats. My city is 14 miles from Ohio's Geographic Center. I am 5ft8in tall. weight 323 down from a high of 355 and am 72 years old last December 26th. Yeah an untraditional age for bariatric surgery but I'm in it to win it just like everyone else.I will have a RnY at Mount Carmel in Columbus early-mid March. I had 3 children 2 living my son who I call my Tomkitten on here and his older sister R.D. short for Rotten Daughter. She lives 7/8 mile from me. She hadn't spoken directly for 6 months, her choice not mine. Christmas her best friend suddenly died of a heart attack. She started calling and,texting me again. Will it last? Can't really say.,i never stopped loving her but many of her actions I dont like or approve of,. Still she was my baby and an only child and grandchild for her first 7 years, Ah we all have our trials in life. If you have any questions or concerns just ask,i f I don't have an answer somebody on Bariatric Pal will, We are each other's biggest boosters, I have learned so much from the veterans, We all have our own viewpoints and all, but keeps things interesting, We are worldwide, some of my BBFs short for Best Bariatric Friend are in New Zealand, Australia, Scotland and north Houston Texas. My goal is to be 175 and a size 15-16, don't know if I'll ever make it but I'm going to give it my best shot. Care to join me on this journey?

Isn't it amazing how the Drs office tries to schedule appointments together? I have 2 appointments tomorrow, the cardiologist and meeting the Dr... Wish me luck!

Hi I’m super late just joined the app but I started my Journey in January. My estimated surgery date is early May. I have completed most of my insurance requirements. Only thing left is Psych Eval and 3 more nutritionists visits ( next one in a week)... so I’m right along with you.

Welcome to the group BeckyVSG2b, I started my journey in January also. My estimated surgery date should be around June. I have completed my Psych Eval and now I just have 3 more nutritionists visits. I see we both are on our way to a new beginning. :)

Yay I’m so excited! I will keep checking here for your progress. I started vlogging my journey on YouTube I’m so excited to see how things change for me. How did the Psych Eval go for you? Everything has been smooth up until now. My Psychologist have been missing in action. We were suppose to schedule an appointment almost two weeks ago and I cannot reach her. In a few more days I am reaching out to another one but I don’t want to seem impatient since I still have a few months til surgery.

My nutrition visit went well. I see my doctor in 2 weeks. Getting nervous. I'm stuck again. But I'm hopeful that the pounds will come off soon. I'll keep you updated.

      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.
