Hello,

I am new here. I was approved for surgery last april but let friends and family talk me out of it, a year later and I am regretting it, my doctor has referred me again and I am anxiously awaiting approval. I so hope its approved again, but while I wait I am doing as much research as I can and have decided to start the pre op diet in anticipation. Is that crazy?

I've been on this journey for some time and have lost over 100 lbs doing WW, Keto and paleo over the past few years but I need to lose another 70 and its bein stubborn I NEED new tools. I hope to get the gasyric sleeve.

Hi! I think it's great you've finally decided for yourself to go through with the surgery; I too (as many of us I am sure) NEED to have this done. I am new here as well but have lost roughly 80 pounds on my own; similar to you I have about another 100 pounds to lose. I did regain some of that weight that I lost and I refuse to get back to where I was. I have been thinking about this surgery for quite some time now, but have finally decided it's time because I know and have finally come to terms with I need this.

I hope you get approved!

      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.
