Ok, I was up at 5, told to be at surgery center at 6. Now it is 842 and my doctor has changed and the other dr has not even shown up yet! How rude. Oh .... He just showed up. How nice

Aw, try to keep positive. I know this is not ideal, but it will work out!

You just reminded me - I had the complete opposite. I was due to be operated on at 10:00 but they took me in at 08:30 (I'd stayed overnight). The surgery co-ordinator nearly fainted when I came out, as they'd not got round to taking payment from me thinking that I was going in later, LOL!! biggrin.gif

Yeah...did you get Dr. Q? I think he is worth a couple hour wait.

Yes, I did. He is ok. It took them 4hrs. This morning was so awful beyond belief. Wow, it was some amazing pain and emotions. I feel better now. Trying to walk, sip, walk sip like you told me. I really feel the whole buyers remorse now, but I know I am just being whining. I will update tomorrow. Thanks for the prayers, I need them.

      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.
