As I mentioned last week I was left standing at the altar by my anesthetist who wanted extra tests at the last minute.

Well I made it through that and another 6 days of shakes and have my surgery set for later this afternoon.

But just to add some more excitement to the conclusion of this saga, last night at 9pm one of our cats either ate or was stung by something when resulted in a trip to the animal emergency hospital. Got home at midnight and had a few calls saying it was iffy at best for a good outcome. But as of 7am this morning she looks like she turned the corner and will make it.

And to top it off, Phoenix is hitting 118 this weekend. Guess my post op exercise will be indoors.

Enough with the drama, let’s roll the closing credits on the pre-op part of this trilogy.

Back on in a few days or whenever my wife allows me near the keyboard.

Sorry about your cat's adventure, but I am happy to hear she is better. It is stressful when our pets are sick.

Good luck Gary and I hope all goes smooth.

I'm sorry to hear that you have had such a bumpy ride the last few days! I'm glad that all the tests were taken care of and ou are on your way to surgery! So happy for you! Also I'm glad that the cat is doing okay! My dog was once stung by multiple bee's and was very sick, we also made midnight ER visit! Also haha AZ heat is rough, lived there for many years, TX is no better. Let us know how you are doing once you are able. Best wishes.

      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.
