AHHHHH!

So, In four weeks from today, I will be getting sleeved! After continuously bugging the scheduling department the past few days, I finally got the call that my surgery will be July 20th!! I will be doing all my pre-op testing on Tuesday, July 12 beginning at 7:30 A.M. This includes all the bloodwork, nutrition counseling, EKG, and all that fun stuff. She also said I'd be doing a urine test... what is that for? Is it just to test for pregnancy?

Anywhos, I should be getting a call the 14th to get my surgery time. This is all happening so fast! I have been researching this for so long, but this entire process took less than two months to complete. (June 6th consult to July 20 surgery) I won't have to do any pre-op dieting, but I may do one just to make sure my liver is in good condition.

YAY!

      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.
