I use Instagram a lot more than this app. So I figured why not see if others like it more as well.

I’d love to follow more people on insta! We can support each other’s journeys!

HI, I’m really new here still, but if you’re interested in following me I’m mil_unloaded over on IG. I’m 6 months from my surgery (approx!), so it would be nice to have people on IG that have been through it and can be supportive!

I should clarify (it won’t let me edit), I haven’t had my surgery yet. I should be having it in about 6 months (insurance hurdles)! But I’m happy to follow anyone that shares here because I’d love to see more about your process and progress!

I haven’t had surgery yet either! I started the insurance process in March and finally have my surgery date for July 28th!

That's perfectly fine! I did the same thing before my surgery- seeing other people going through it made me much braver about it in the end and the support from the instagram and bariatricpal community has been astounding!

Congrats to both of you! ❤️ You got this.

      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.
