(Apologies in advance if this is the wrong place to post this)
Just wanted to introduce myself and thank you all for letting me troll your Q&A's the last few weeks . Was hesitant to introduce myself until my insurance pre cert came thru and I had my surgery date which I just got today!!! Been a long 6 month preparation but I am SOOO ready for this. Anywho, just wanted to say hello and a sincere thank you to everyone who has taken the time to post questions and answers. I'm nowhere near the anxiety level I was previously before finding you guys! Looking forward to sharing this journey with you all

CONGRATULATIONS and welcome to the group! I do the same thing Carolina Girl, I read the comments here a lot, very educational. There were many times when I felt lost, or alone? This group has helped me tremendously. Good luck on your exciting journey.

I agree!! Love reading these topics. Although my surgeon told me to stay off the bariatric surgery forums until surgery is finished...yeah, like THAT'S gonna happen! Lol

      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.
