I got my lil' packet from my surgery on Tuesday for my pre-op appointment. Woo hoo!

I've already gone through the process of tests, doctors appointments and insurance clearance. It began on September 9th with a consult and I'm finally getting my surgery on November 17th!

I am so excited and nervous at the same time...since I've never had a major surgery.

Can't wait to get know others on here going through the same thing or who have been there.

I've been doing great!! I took off two weeks to rest, but really only needed a couple of days. I was walking the day after surgery and have been doing so ever since. I don't know how much weight I've lost yet; don't want to become OC on weighing in as I know I will if I start. Won't know until Thursday, my follow up visit, and can't wait!!!

Hope thats how it works for me...lol. Well I don't have a scale at home so I think it might be a good idea on not buying a new one, like you I don't want to become obsessed w/ it.

Glad your doing so well...I won't have my f/u until December 4th.

      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.
