I felt the same way. I had to tell my boss a few days ago. I also didn't want to share all the details but needed him to know that I would need to have time off. I told him I needed a surgery to take care of a personal issue I have been having for awhile and asked that because it is personal that he keep it confidential. I have a very understanding boss and he didn't ask questions just let me know we would do what was necessary to make sure I had the time I needed.

Hope this helps.

All of your reply's are great. I still have not told the boss as of yet I will have to prepare him soon rather than later. My pre-op shakes came in the mail today. My doctor wanted me to use a special shake, so I ordered it from Ebay. I got Optifast 800 has anybody had to use this before surgery?

My doctor will be Dr. David Kim in Dallas, Tx he is a great doctor I will have regular follow ups with him after my surgery all included in the surgery price of 12,300. Since I am self pay I wanted to locate a doctor that was reasonable on the price and would take great care of me after the fact.

I am looking forward to my surgery and meeting some great people on here...my sleeve brothers and sisters

      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.
