Hi all,

I am new here. I just got my date for June 9th and I am wondering if anyone else is scheduled around the same time. If so and you would like a support buddy let me know.

This is my first post, but I have been reading all the wonderful information that you guys have made available. Very informative!!

Thanks.

Hi..thanks for the reply. Not nervous at all. I didn't have to go through counseling (self pay) so it has all been rather fast, which keeps me excited. Are you nervous? Where are you having your surgery?

My surgery will be in Albuquerque, NM.... I just found out yesterday that they were going to offer it here - I was going to fly to Ft. Worth,Texas.... That's when it hit me-yesterday that this whole thing is going to happen- thus I got a little scared - like what am I doing - but I hear a lot of people ask that question prior to surgery!!

Where is your surgery? How much time are you taking off?

Having my surgery in New Orleans. I am taking 7 days off work (I have a desk job).

Do you have a date yet? I think you will do fine; keep the possitive attitude. Look at it as a new beginning!

Cool. I really don't know how to navigate this site too well. Is there a place that the June Jewels chat or post info?

I am only going to take 7 days off too- I hope it's enough - I sit bend stand and run back and forth from room to room at my job..... Honestly all I have this whole year is one week of vacation - and it's a new job so I don't want to call attention to myself by taking short term leave if absence - but.... I only have one stomach!!!

      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.
