And if you are not a WLS candidate, I don't think you do. Sure it's wonderful to have support people, everybody should-- even if Bariatric Pal is it for you, but unless you have walked in our shoes and on this path, you just can't. Sure you can observe it but you just don't know all the feelings that come with it. Some bad, majority good --but like parenthood the hardest,yet rewarding, thing you can do with yourself. And please believe me, when you,are on here YOU ARE NOT ALONE, we know the struggles, the benefits even the "Oh what have I done to myself?"moments. And the veterans walk in the sunlight of better health and ask us to join them there.[emoji67][emoji68][emoji69][emoji70][emoji13] Sunshine and Smiles my friend.

I’m a newbie too. I will have my final weigh in on 5/2, then my paperwork gets submitted and takes 5-7 days for approval, THEN I will get my surgery date about two weeks from the approval date. I’ve seen the psychologist, nutritionist, had my upper GI ... it’s quite a process for sure. I have been researching, lurking, etc to get as much info as I can. I LOVE seeing before and after pics and hearing about experiences .... then I can picture myself with all this weight gone! If feels too good to be true.

Oh I am annoyed. My insurance approved Friday. They got my surgeon’s approval today. But they have to wait to get a signed copy of the approval before they’re call me to schedule. Seriously? We’re waiting on a signed copy in 2018?

      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.
