I’m having the same procedure that my dad had 17 years ago only I’m a lot smaller than he was. I know it needs to be a lifestyle change or else I’ll gain it back like he did.

🙏 Praying for strength

Hi 👋🏼
BMI: 35.4 pre-op
Insurance covered my surgery due to pre-existing medical conditions I had
Surgery was in San Diego, CA
I didn’t share with my family what surgery I had they’d worry too much, my husband knew and he supported my decision
I been diabetic since I was 13 and I was told the surgery would help me and so far I’m 4 days post op and doing and feeling well …I want to be able to get rid of my diabetic meds if possible or significantly reduce them

Glad you got your husband’s support!

      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.
