Hey everyone. I know I haven't been on in a while. This is why. I'm right smack dab in the middle of my 6 month diet and I'm feeling like it's taking forever. I've done most of my pre surgery tests and evaluations, and the ones I haven't done are because they have no open appointments. Did anyone else go through this? How did you get through it?

Thanks :tt2:

I just got done looking at your album of pics and I can't believe your 350. Your so handsome! I commend you for going thru all of this. It's got to be so much harder for guys to jump thru all the hoops. Keep us updated! :tt2:

Thanks Melody and Cortney for the well wishes. Good luck to both of you too.

And Melody, a lot of people say that. I carry my weight VERY well. I'm tall so that is a big reason. But I am worried about any future complications.

Thanks for the replies!

Drew as a cash patient I didn't have to jump through all the hoops but I can tell you at almost 2 months post-op it is worth everything you are going through!!!! Every pound lost is a victory and means a longer healthier life and I commend you for making this life altering decision at such a young age!

      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.
