Hey LJM - first of all good luck again - I know in my heart you are going to be great. Also, I saw in another post that you said that you were doing a hernia repair with the Tummy Tuck and that insurance was offsettign some of the TT costs - do you mind telling me how much they are covering? Also, what kind of hernia do you have? My surgeon recommend that I do the same thing and all I could think was $$ I was not mentally prepared to shell out for a tt at this point!

sorry about the OJ - but think... it will be SO worth it.

I have an epigastric hernia - it is right in the middle of my stomach right below my rib cage. Does yours hurt or did you have other symptoms?

I am finding the entire hernia twist confusing and depressing since I was hoping to wait until at least sept/oct for surgery so I could be at goal!

ah well.

      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.
