If you have questions for the surgeon I would right them down. By the time you're actually in the consultation you might forget some.

Well with my INS I have to do a 6 mos pre-op diet, so I was very disappointed to hear that, he told I make his job easy because I didn't have high blood pressure etc. The only thing that I have to get is an upper G I to check if I have an hernia. Gave me my paper work to schedule my diet and exercise class, nutrionist and psychologist. So I've trying to get everything schedule NOW because I don't want no last minute surprises when I do get a surgery date. So Good Luck with your dr appt tomorrow and plzs let me know how it 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.
