I'm being sleeved on Monday, April 18th! Keep us posted on your progress!

Something comforting about knowing someone is going thru this at the same time so we will have to keep track of each other ;).

Hey guys! I went for my pre-op testing Monday. I am so anemic that they canceled my surgery. I am devastated to so the least. I had everything ready. Work arrange, post op supplies purchased, day care arranged, etc. They will not even talk about rescheduling until they figure out why I am so anemic. Going for further testing next week. I am beyond words disappointed! :(

I was scheduled for the 19th but got it moved up to the 14th biggrin.gif ... Seeing the post about the anemia was a great reminder to pop a couple of my Iron pills, but I really feel sorry for you ASBgirl!!!, but don't worry, anemia is usually an easily diagnosed and fixed thing... mine is from my Ventolin asthma inhalers... BTW: if they give you an iron supplement, make sure not to take it within 1 hour of consuming anything with caffeine or milk (they both bond with the iron and prevent absorption) Good Luck!!!!

Thanks~!!! will do biggrin.gif

Most Iron supplements say: Avoid taking antacids, dairy products, tea, or coffee within 2 hours before or after this medication because they will decrease its effectiveness. Do not lie down for 30 minutes after taking this medication. biggrin.gif i didn't actually know this either until my pharmacist told me biggrin.gif

      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?

      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.
