I received approval from my insurance company today; so, December the 6th is official for me. I am so grateful because I didn't want this to drag into the new year. There is already a waiting list for the remainder of the year and I am grateful not to be on it. I start my liquids only diet Friday. I am a little nervous just because it is such a life changing move. The unknown after the surgery is what makes me nervous. What will my recovery look like, reintroducing foods when the time comes, etc. It's a nervous excitement though because I decided to do this in July, I haven't looked back and now I am here. I am a little nervous because it is such a life changing move, but I am so excited because it is a life changing move. I am so ready. Looking forward to supporting others along the way!

My pre-surgery work up is Tuesday and I'm super nervous. A liquid diet scares me because I hate the taste and texture of Protein Shakes. Hubby is not on board so I feel I'm in an uphill battle for support. I work full time and go to college full time getting my bachelor's. On top of that I have a 10 year old boy and 7 yo boy with autism. I'm doing this for me to be healthy to be there for my family.

I start liquid diet December 6 and do surgery December 20. My only concern is if I could stick to a liquid diet , I would have done it already and wouldn’t need surgery !😬

I’m scheduled for December 20th. I’ve been on my track since February and I chose December because I’ll already be off for winter break and won’t lose too many days of work. I’m nervous about going back to work after and how the adjustment is going to be, with me, my other teachers, and my kids.

      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.
