Brianna - I just wanted to say don't stress about your PCP visit. I hope all goes well. My PCP ended up wanting to do an EKG in the office even though it was going to be done through my surgeon. My EKG ended up abnormal, so I had to see a cardiologist and do a stress test too. However, all that went well. I hope your PCP is understanding. Mine would rather not have me do the surgery, especially since it's not reversible, but she does know I've been trying unsuccessfully to lose weight for a while now, so once she got the info back from the cardiologist that gave me clearance, she submitted her clearance too. It was definitely a crazy week when I was dealing with all that though! Try to stay calm and enjoy the ride! :-)

      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.
