I have to be at Forest Park by 6:30 am for prep on 9/4. I'm really nervous, excited and scared all at the same time. They did not give me a specific surgery time but based on the time it took for my EGD last week it will probably be a couple hours or so after the time I'm supposed to be there. I hope it's not a long time after my prep the waiting is awful and creates a lot of anxiety for me. I wish all of us the best for surgery and much success on this new journey in our lives.

They said my surgery time is 7:30, I have to be there at 5:30, so I would guess you are at 8:30! Looks like we have to find each other and walk together! Just curious how young the two people having surgery at Forest Park are?? I'm 31! I will be with my husband & my FIL is coming. My mom is keeping our daughter, so most likely she won't be able to come!

I told my husband I will probably be 8:30 also. Yes we will have to find each other and walk the halls to a fast recovery and kickoff to our Excercise routine. I'm a bit older at 48. My husband will be there also. What does FIL mean?

      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.
