So I received my authorization today , the next step is to consult with surgeon and set the surgery date. Wow😯 , this is all real and now it’s happening fast , I’ve worked really hard in my 24 week classes and lost 31 lbs in the process, but just knowing my life is about to change big time sends little butterflies flying in my stomach , I’ve been really researching and I am now leaning towards the sleeve , I think this will be the best for me , I am 5’7 and currently weighing 305 , my realistic goal is 200 lbs hopefully in 1 year and after that skip that bridge when I get to it. Anyone else looking at a possible surgery in late June of early July , Talk to me 😐

It is at once,scary, thrilling, and a powerful prospective change you will be going through. ai can give you the results of my studies, the stories I've heard on her and my,own beliefs on the subject,but I also,have not,have my Day of DAYS. Next month, July 2018 will be,my,own REBIRTH opportunity. I don't have a concrete date, will have to be after July 2nd, my guess is July 15th, because I have a liquid liver'shrinking diet to complete. Bit no matter the exact date, I am more than prepared. It has been so long I have developed several motors. The first one: All,my Fears drowned,in my Tears. Then: Rny in July,or I'll Cry! lastly:
it is the Right time
At the Right Place
For the Right Reason
It is the Right surgery
Performed by the Right surgeon
And to the Right Person *ME!
So you see I am calm, peaceful And self-assured for I believe
Everything's Going to be All Right!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
