Well I did all of that pre op stuff on my Christmas break. Bloodwork, UGI, endoscopy, psych eval, and letter of medical necessity. I have to get more bloodwork done at Good Sam Keri said to get my blood type an other tests done. I don't know why they didn't do it all in one shot. The first time I god bloodwork they did 12 viles!! I'm also getting my medical clearance done on Wednesday . Did they tell you how long you'll be out of work?

The surgery wasn't too bad. It was longer recovery than I expected but its been WELL worth it. I didn't worry too much about pre-op. the band will give u the control u need. I'm in Thiells.

      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.
