When you are sitting there wanting cake and ice cream just picture what you will look like on your next birthday!! If I was you I'd go out for a birthday dinner before your Pre-op diet starts. Good luck!

Me too on the sleep study :( This part is frustrating, seems very unnessesary. BUT, thinking about end result.

Sorry to hear that two of you need the sleep study... what do you have to do for it? I imagine you having to fall asleep and they monitor you? how did they determine you need the study?

Ugh, good old sleep studies. Been there (I have sleep apnea). When I went the first night they hook you up to a million things and you sleep while they monitor you. Then you will come back for a second night and they will get a mask for you to wear to determine what pressure you need (depends on severity on your sleep apnea, assuming that you have it). This was way before I even thought of surgery, so I'm not sure what exactly is done for testing for insurance purposes.

DR. said that they will hook me up with wires and monitor me. If I have sleep apnea they hook up there

Well I hope the studies go as well as they can for you both. It's a shame you have to deal with this to complicate things.

      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.
