Im having my surgery on 4/23. So I assumed everything was done and dandy.

I get a call the OR booked the wrong person for the surgery..took allday to get that sorted out. I then get another call saying I had to see the hospital dietitian before surgery. Of course there were no appointments available till mid may so I had to bed myself in and got an appointment at 9:30am the day before surgery.

Then comes another call saying I wasn't tested for h.pylori with my endoscopy so I had to rush and get a breath test for it.

I get everything together and im finally getting a sense that im done and then my brother comes home with a horrible cold which im bound to get. I haven't eaten food in 4 days (liquid pre op diet ) and Im at my wits end..

did anyone else have this hard of a time less then a week before surgery?

      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.
