Ugh...everyone is getting their dates...I'm still waiting :( I called today and left a message for the nurse on getting a date. Hope I get a response soon! I"m tired of not knowing how to plan. My fam wants to take off some time around the surgery to help with our little guy.

Hang in there. For me it seems as if One minute I was feeling the same way that you feel and then in an instant I had a date and was on my liquid diet. April 10th is my date and I just found out. Now all the time I spent preparing seems like it was just yesterday when it all began.

Your probably right :) I'm dreading he liquid diet :/ But at least I'll only have those horrible hunger pains for 2 weeks. After that I'll get full much faster and won't be dealing with it. Can't wait...but also a little nervous! April 10 will be here very soon!!!!

My surgery is scheduled for 1:00 pm on April 1st. I am 5 days into the liver shrinking diet and well its not overly pleasant but it could be better as my surgeon allows some veggies and meat instead of all liquids. I would like a link to the FB page as well. My email address is barbara.pullos@sbcglobal.net Thanks

Even though my surgery is this coming Monday, I've been waiting on approval and I just got word from my coordinator.... APPROVED!!!! It finally feels real. I had been scared to get my hopes up because I've had such a hard time with insurance, and after countless hours of the phone, special requests from my PCP, changing hospitals and surgeon, all the fighting is over. Whew, it's really happening :D good luck to everyone and especially anyone struggling with insurance.

I had my pre-op with the doctor and at the hospital today. It was an insanely long day, but I was excited thru every minute of it! Several people asked me today if I was nervous...I'm too excited and have waited too long for this to be nervous. Maybe next Wed or Thurs I'll get nervous..we will see. ;) Just 1 more week to go! Scheduled for surgery at 11:00 am on April 4th!

      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.
