I do have something else that came up over the last week. My blood work came back with my phospates elevated so I did a CT scan to check gallbladder. Found out that Dr Harrison will not remove gallbladder and do the VSG at the same time. So I am praying that since my Vitamin D was rediculously low that it is not the gallbladder

I didn't know he didn't do both at the same time. I always hear that Dr's usually do! Where abouts are u? I should be having surgery late Oct early Nov. I can't wait.

Yeah his lady in the office told me that if I really prefered to have them bot done at once that I should find a different surgeon. Not really the response I was looking for but he doesn't do them both to prevent infection

      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.
