Thanks :) it went...ok. The rn took 3 bp's & they all were 130/80 (pretty much my normal--I'm usually 130 or 125/80) & did an EKG, which she said was "wonderful". Then a lot of questions about history & family. The dr came in after & did another history, & rechecked my bp--149/90...! So, now I have to do an ECG tomorrow & a stress ECG on 11/6!! There goes my 11/1 submit to the ins co. Dang!! Will these referral appts never end?!

Had the ECG (heart echo) this morning. The tech didn't really say much, but said the sounds were good. I didn't see any gross abnormalities in the screen, but then again, I could barely tell my children were anything other than normal tissue variations during this ultrasounds...lol Fingers crossed... I haven't gotten a phone call from the cardiologist yet, so I'll take that as a good sign. :}

      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.
