Hello all! I've been reading the forum for the past couple of months' date=' thank you all for the great advice and sharing your experiences. It's been very helpful and informative! I met with the surgeon a week ago today, my surgery date is June 26. Anyone else for June?[/quote']

I am going on June 10th. I am so excited to start this new chapter! A little nervous too because my EKG came back abnormal. I have to go see a cardiologist tomorrow. My surgeon said he wasn't too worried about it but I should go see the other Dr anyway. So I will and hope it doesn't push back my surgery date!

Oh my gosh I had the same thing. They put me out today for the EGD and when I woke up they said I need to be cleared by the Cardiologist. Scary! Let us know how it turns out. I don't have my Cardiologist appt yet.

Well tomorrow is the big day! I have to be there at 11:00 am. The nurse told me they are doing 5 tomorrow. 3 of us are spending the night because of sleep apnea. So I stopped eating at 6 pushing liquids until midnight and then nothing not even Water until surgery. I am going to be really thirsty and dry mouth going that long. I am nervous. Do I have everything ready. It's still so unreal. So hoping that this is the answer. Thanks for the support I hear from all of you,

      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.
