Hi, macie!

I was also originally scheduled for September, but had to reschedule because of my husband's travel schedule. I wasn't comfortable coming home alone with no one to help out around the house.

So now I'm set for 10/5/10. I'm nervous and excited all at once. How 'bout you?

BTW - thank you to you and your family for your service to our country. I'm a former Army wife and I understand all the hardships you endure.

Thanks, my husband and I are both retired from AF. It is frustrating when you are trying to schedule work around the changes. Hopefully everything will stay the same now.

My son is in the army and is schedule to be in the field for a month beginning October 15. He is my closest family member and is planning on staying with me for a few days afterwards.

I just got approved yesterday, not I am trying to hurry things along so I can have the surgery before he goes.

      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.
