Hi' date=' was that yesterday about 11:00? I heard them on a call while I was there. They are all so nice in this office.[/quote']

Yes! Call was from 10-12. How about that. Small world :-)

Were you there for your pre-op? What time is your surgery on Monday? I'll keep you & Dr. H in my prayers for a successful surgery & easy recovery.

Yes. Surgery is at 7:00am. First of the day. Thank god. It would drive me nuts if I had to wait all day. I'm getting really nervous!

Mine is first on a Monday, too. I had planned to follow the general "warnings" (old wives tales?) about not scheduling surgeries for Monday mornings or Fridays so I was skeptical - until Tammy told me that she MADE SURE her surgery was his first on a Monday. That changed my mind about old wives tales!

I agree that I would have been a bundle of nerves if I had to wait part of the day before going in. I'm already not going to be able to sleep the night before! Denise said taking a Benadryl the night before to get some sleep "is usually safe". Not sure if I'm going to try that, though. I've never been "put under" so I'm not taking any chances on mixing sleep meds.

Did Dr.H suggest getting a flu shot 2 weeks prior to surgery? My PCP suggested it but Denise was skeptical since I haven't had one in the past several years & don't know if I'll have a reaction to it.

I do get the flue shot year by year, but will wait until later in the year. I was asked about the pneumonia shot though. Where are you staying the night before? We MADD reservations at the Hilton. Good price and really close.

The Hilton Garden Inn. I'm hopefully using credit card points to pay for the night before & the night after for my parents. Or, rather, for my Dad because my step-mom will be staying overnight in the hospital with me.

Not sure I knew there is a pneumonia shot...?

Interesting... I'd think they'd be concerned about a reaction considering your natural defenses are down after the surgery. Guess not! :-)

      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.
