Good luck with your consultation tomorrow. No need to be nervous, It's like any normal doctor visit. There may be a lot of info all at once but you'll be fine.

Good luck on your journey!!

Take a deep breath, let it out, relax , smile, be your best "you"-99 and 99/100ths bariatric surgeons are wonderfully kind compassionate individuals. If you want carry a note pad & take notes. You,will get oodles of information at this appointment but it's to make your future surgery smooth, uneventful and to insure the best outcome possible. After you talk, he or she may make a suggestion what kind of surgical procedure will be best for you. Ultimately,it is your decision but take their advice also, they are truly professionals and know their business inside out. As an example, I first considered a certain surgery but after my chat I realized the benefits of the other, and that will be the one I soon will have.. But I send good wishes and if there's anything we can do to help you along the way,just ask, okay?😛

      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.
