So the surgery schedular called today. I am scheduled for January 2nd. Though she tells me she hasnt heard back from my insurance yet which I find odd. I have met all their requirements and she told me not to stress it. I guess I need to relax she sees this stuff everyday.

So my surgeon decides yesterday she will be going out of town on my surgery!!! Talk about peeved. Its not like I scheduled the surgery. So now I have to deal with my work scheduler , HR who isnt in the store and short term disability all over again. I felt so well planned :(.

New surgery date January 16th...now im almost 4 weeks out. Talk about lost all patience.....

I'm sorry, that really really sucks!!!!! Can't believe they would do that after already having a surgery scheduled. I would think they would block out a time where their staff wouldn't schedule any. Oh well, on the bright side, you only have a week to go! Trust me, it will be here before you know it!

      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.
