Hi everyone! I’m new but I’ve finished all my requirements for Cigna. Now just waiting for approval. I’m 42 years old, mother of 2 girls and 1 grandson, they are my world. I finally made decision to have this surgery. Have lots of health issues. Thyroid cancer, Hypothyroidism,Type 2 diabetes, severe sleep apnea, Are just a few, other than of course my inability to keep the weight off. I’m nervous and excited all at the same time! Anesthesia scares me as I’m allergic to one type of it. Kinda been just watching the posts and reading everyone’s experiences. Anyway super excited that I get to share this with people that understand!

Welcome and lots of luck!! Make sure you talk to your surgeon and anesthesiologist and nurses about the kind of drug you are allergic too!

Welcome! I had my surgery 3 weeks ago today. So far, I have lost 36 pounds! I hope you have an easy time like I did. I had very little pain, just some soreness. I am not feeling hungry- which makes things easier. Goo luck! Keep us updated.

      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.
