I finally got my insurance approval in the mail Friday. (Yes, I've been stalking my postman for quite some time!) Last week, my PCP gave me pre-op clearance and sent me for all my fun tests....tomorrow I have my psych eval. Once my surgeon gets all of this info, he will schedule me for an EGD. I should have a surgery date within 10 days of that.

So what I'm getting to is this: I'm looking at the end of Feb for a surgery date. I would love to have an online buddy that is on close to the same timeline as me. We could go through it "together."

I'm 31F, live in Louisiana, married with no children. (Hoping that once I reach my goal weight, I can pop some out!)

I'm one of those with a borderline BMI. I'm 5'5" and 220lbs. Anyway, is there anyone out there that shares some similarities and wants to go through this thing together???

Kind Regards,

Daisydoodle

      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.
