I went for my first consultation appointment today. I was SO nervous, but it was all for nothing. I went in, and spoke to the doctor- Then I talked to the nutritionist about what to eat after the surgery. She set up my surgery date, which is next Friday (May 14)-

I am SO excited!!! And a little nervous! It's all paid for now, and set up. All that's left to do is my pre-op diet, and pre-admission testing. The lady at the Doctor's office is supposed to call tomorrow with my PAT time. It's supposed to be the morning of the surgery I think-

Woooo Hoooo!:thumbup:

5 more days for you! That's awesome! :thumbup: They called this morning, and my testing is Wednesday at 11- I'm kind-of freaking out, because it is at a hospital I have never been to. My anxiety really gets the best of me when I have to go somewhere new, by myself. I have tried to find someone to go with me, but everyone is working.

I know I can do it- I just have to keep reminding myself of that fact!

      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.
