Hi all

I just wanted to tell you all that I love this forum.. I was well prepared when I went and saw my sugeon. He tried to put me off the surgey at first, saying that its not guaranteed etc etc....but after he could see that I was keen and really wanted to go ahead with the procedure, he booked me in for 23 March.....yes.....cant wait....bit nervous as I dont know how it will all go......:thumbup:

That's great you have a surgery date to look forward to, Tomjerry.

I wonder why your surgeon was hesitant at first?! Surely they'd want to help as many people as they could??

You're doing a GREAT thing for yourself, good for you! I was so unsure but I really knew it was for the best. I got in really quickly and just went for it (sounds similar to you). You wont look back! There may be times you'll wonder if its working and why do it if it is still hard but those times are minute and overall, so far, I love it! Good luck for the next few weeks esp the pre op diet which is the hardest bit of all. The rest is easy!

      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.
