Hey Yโ€™all! ๐Ÿ‘‹

Iโ€™m new here, sort of, Iโ€™ve been coming here for answers all during pre-op. I decided to join so that I can interact and not just read! My husband and I finished all of pre-op requirements Friday. Today we will be submitting everything to insurance and choosing our date!

Hi,

Iโ€™m new here as well. I found this site looking for some information on peopleโ€™s personal experiences with bariatric weight loss surgery. I was just approved for the Molina bariatric program today. I know itโ€™s a long road ahead before the actual gastric sleeve surgery. Just curious about what I should be expecting next step.

@Aubrieann congratulations on your journey to a new healthier you. My advise is to start making healthier food choices. I cut out all unhealthy Snacks, chips, Cheetos, sweet, coffee etc. well in advance before my surgery. Also there are lots of helpful information on this forum.

Wishing you good luck.

      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.
