On the 11th I go from 1' date='300 cal to 1,000 cal per day. Still managing to squeeze in my favorites but in smaller amounts. I've really slacked on my Water, no good! I just ordered Isopure Zero Carb unflavored, it mixes clear so I can have it in my "clear liquids" phase. Also got some Celebrate chewable Vitamins, mandarin orange, yum. Doing all this on a budget isn't easy but worth it, requires a lot of comparison shopping. The EKG is a breeze but the Endoscopy was unpleasant. Best wishes to you & thanks for the reply.[/quote']

Hey

Budget is my middle name. I had to save my out of pocket cost ...not covered by insurance. Now that I have that out the way... I can start trying 2 find chewable vitamins and other stuff I need. I hope 2 find coupons and deals. We are still in a recession. I'm trying 2 save every dime.

I read all the posts about people's surgery being moved to an earlier time in the day. Since I was scheduled for 2:30 pm, I sure was hoping that would happen to me. So I almost jumped out of my skin when I saw the hospital's number on my caller id an hour ago. Now I'm scheduled for an 6:00am arrival and an 8:00am surgery!!!! I immediately called my ride and she didn't even blink. Now THAT'S a friend to pick you up at 4:45am and drive you an hour to the hospital. I don't think this day can get any better. Decatur, TX losers, I'll be sitting on the bench waiting for you. We're going to have a great time B)

The key to finding the best deals is research and comparing products. As to any other supplements I meet with the nurse and doctor on the 13th: I have a list of questions. Things have really added up, I've cut into my savings more than I thought I would. I've heard amazing stories from those who are post-op. In the end it will all be worth it!

This will also be my second surgery this year. I had to have my tonsills and adenoids out as part of the protocol for me. Then still had to go on a Cpap. I woke up to the sergeon telling my daughter the pain I was going to be in was at a 9 he lied. It was a 15. Lol. Good luck and think happy thoughts.

I had to change my Surgery date and surgen due to schedule conflict. New date June 20th and new surgen Dr. Garcia. I had to change surgens because the soonest Dr. Almanza could get me in was in July and I couldn't wait that long. I am still happy it is happening less the 2 weeks away. Hurray!

      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.
