Howdy and welcome! I'm a SoCal girl myself. ;)

What insurance do you have? I got approved through Aetna PPO recently so if you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out to me or others on here - there's so much guidance and support! Best of luck on your journey - the surgery date will be here before you know it!

Congrats! I am sure you will do just fine. Did you have this board as support 2 years ago? Do you feel you were more informed this time?

I am just curious. I wish you the best of luck in whatever you decide on a road to a healthier happier you :mad2:

I was pretty well informed, didn't know about this message board. I'm hoping this will make the difference.

      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.
