I have had my initial appointment, dietitian appt and psyche eval. Just waiting now for approval from insurance and surgery date.

Want to know everything I can find out. I am so excited about this change I am about to make in my life. The decision has been agonizing, but once the decision was made... complete peace.

I am sure I will spend lots of time in this forum in the coming days and months....

Welcome to LBT! Waiting sucks, doesn't it. :regular_smile:

The skinny girl that is inside, dying to get out, thinks that the waiting sucks...

The fat girl who is in control at the time, and realizes that the bounty of Thanksgiving and Christmas is just around the corner, is willing to patiently wait til the New Year....

I have a feeling that the two (fat/skinny girl) will have differing opinions quite often over the next days, weeks and months.....

Rest assured that the skinny girl will not be overpowered by the fat girl!

;))

I HAVE MY INSURANCE APPROVAL!! YAY!!! Hopefully will be banded either the 11th or the 18th of this month! I am so excited. My gall bladder surgery went perfectly, no problems and I feel great (tired but great). Hoping the lap band surgery goes as easily. I am so ready for 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.
