Congratulations and wishing you the best!.

I am hoping for April, but dont have a date as of yet. I will know March 20th when I go to see my doctor. After much consideration I will discuss gastric bypass instead of the sleeve with my surgeon.

Hi, I just thought it would be cool to have others in the same month! It’s all good :)

I don’t plan to take off but a few days for work. I can just not lift heavy stuff. I am anxious for my time to get here!

Susie, I hope you get it for April! Keep me updated if you can. I’ll give an update, as well!

Thank you so much!! They said with my insurance I should know in about a week:) The Office knows that I am looking for surgery the week before our “spring break” so I have less time to take off from work. So about April 10th or so is what I am praying for!!

      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.
