hey neenagh...you don't have to tell your boss (ie. if it isn't when your vacation time is). All you have to do is say you are having "minor surgery" and it is none of his business what it is. If he pests you about it, you can tell him you are merely having a "hiatal hernia" removed (it is lacarascopic and has same recovery time).

Not to worrry!

Hi Yoda,

Thats why i want to do it on my vaca, cuz if i take sick time, they will ask for a doctors letter, for sure. I know that the doctor will just put for a "procedure" but letterhead etc. may give the game away. I don't know why im so worried about it, but they always hassle us soooo much about sick time, and if they know it's "elective" they'll get thier knickers in a twist!

      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.
