Hi!

I'm new here. Pre Op waiting for approval from BCBS.

Anybody from the Metro Detroit area? I need some buddies who get what is about to happen to my life.

I have tried to explain and well the people who I thought were supportive have basically pooped out on me.

And my so called best friend!!! HAAAA!!! Forget it. Shes about as helpful as the KING SIZED Almond Joy calling my name that I have stashed in my desk here at work aahah! She would be the type of friend to take me to a buffet for dinner 2 weeks post op or some crap like that.

So yeah i need some locals if possible men and women..dont be shy!

XOXOX

I live in Detroit, right downtown. I am having my surgery april 30th at harper. Where are you having yours? I am very new to all this to so we are in the same boat. Mine has been sinking for years, so I'm glad I finally found a life jacket. You are not alone out there, it is very scary.

      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.
