So today I go for all my tests, psych evaluation, meeting the surgeon. It’s taken a while to get here but seems like it’s just going so fast. Long day ahead.

Congrats! Soon you'll be posting about your surgical date, etc. Sometimes it seems like a long wait, but then it just flies by!

I’m hoping so. Nervous and excited still. But I’m ready for it.

I remember being denied at first, because I needed a 6 month supervised diet even though I had the lap band installed in 2011. But those 6 months flew by. Hard to believe I'm almost 3 months post revision now! It'll happen, it just seems like it'll be a long time, then it goes quickly. It's weird. But you'll get there soon enough!

That sounds like my situation, too! I had all of my appointments on two separate days only a week apart. The good side of that is that you'll leave all these appointments today feeling SO inspired and SO excited to continue your journey! Best of luck, excited for you!

      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.
