playlikeworldchamps 595 Posted March 6, 2013 Good luck to everyone. My surgery date March 13th. The hunger is real. This is Day 6 of pre op diet. I was a little dizzy and weak after waking up this morning. Immediately had applesauce' date=' a yogurt and slim fast shake. It made me feel a little better. It feels weird to not eat real food.[/quote'] march 13 for me too. I get 2 shakes a day + 1 yogurt + 4oz chicken + 2 fruits/veggies about 800 cals total at most. not too bad but I am hungry at end of day! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bmordan 16 Posted March 6, 2013 I finished my mandatory 6 month pre op checkups n all the necessary blood work. I was cleared by all the doctors. All I am waiting for is a call from the coordinator to set up an appt to meet the surgeon. After that we set an appt date n submit to the ins company. I hope I get approved. If I don't I will hit rock bottom. It's been a very long process. I just hope it was all worth it at the end. My Vitamin D level is low tho. Has anyone been denied because of it?

MissFae 19 Posted March 6, 2013 I am in the hospital right now, been post op for for close to 20 hours now. A little sore but not too bad. However, going almost 30 hours without Water is KILLING ME! I'm going down for my swallow test hopefully within an hour. After it's done, then and only then will I be able to drink. This is torture, the thirst is worse than any pain right now.
