Mini Me...I can relate to the worry. Mine is scheduled 2 weeks before I fly to CO for my sisters wedding. I'm sure we will both do fine!!

I hope so

After reading about leaks and the complications of this surgery, I'm worried that i'll be one of those people, and I hope to god I'm not, but you never know until your out of the OR

I am with casp and suelee for a March 11 surgery date. My claim was submitted to Aetna on Friday and I was approved on Monday. Yay! I go in on 2/21 to get the info about my 2 week pre-op diet. That will only give me 4 days to get ready for it.

Sunflowers, just think 2 weeks from today and you'll be there! That's only 14 days!!! You can do anything for 14 days! I'm March 6th, so I'm right there with you. Luckily I don't have a liquid pre-op diet but I am definitely pulling out the last of my will power to get through!! Keep it up! It will all be worth 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.
