My surgery is in Houston with Dr. Garth Davis but my Dr. Is in San Antonio....my insurance required this dr....how long are y'all planning on taking off from work? When do you start your pre op diet? Stats? As the time draws near I find myself becoming more obsessed!

I'm getting more obessed by the day! I'm a teacher, so I'm doing this over my Christmas break....I have until January 7 to recover and then it's back to the classroom! I think my pre-op diet should start December 13 but I will meet with surgeron prior that week for my pre-op appointment. I did my EGD last Friday morning and it was no big deal...I was nervous about that but I got through it with no problem!

So today is my last 'sleeve-less' day at work and it is the longest day EVER! I just have to get thru today and the weekend and then I'm up on Monday morning! I didn't think I'd be nervous but the reality is kicking in FAST. It's like super excitement and fear and nerves all rolled up into one giant emotion. I don't think I have to worry about food for the next few days LOL; I'm way too amped up LOL :)

      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.
