It's true, this is not like any other surgery. I thought I would have difficulty getting out of bed, laying on my side, walking. But I don't , which is awesome. Pain is very minimal

, if anything I'm just sore. My biggest hurdle is regaling what my full is and to get my stomach and brain to work together.

Okay, clearly, I'm a newbie.. my liquid diet starts June 13, surgery, June 27. I love this site because I'm learning so much in a advance, but a couple of things that keep throwing for a loop are the acronyms. LOL! Somebody help me out. What is a NUT, PAT and a PPI? Any other ones I should know about? :)

NUT : nutritionist, dietician

PPI: proton pump inhibitor

I don't know about PAT. I haven't seen it used. Do a general search in the forums for "lingo", "acronyms", etc. there are a couple of threads explaining the alphabet Soup commonly used on here.

Add me, add me!! June 4th! Let's Do This!

Hi June Sleevers! I had originally been scheduled for the 4th, as I wrote above. Unfortunately, things went south with the clinic and staff I was dealing with. Due to their inexperience with insurance pay patients, having no clue as to everything going on with other of their own office staff, bad customer service, lack of compassion, rudeness, inability to be timely with returning calls and their lack of results, we felt totally unsafe continuing to pursue the surgery with this surgeon and clinic. I had no problems with the doctor himself, but couldn't possibly feel comfortable placing my life in such incompetent hands as his staff revealed. Because of the risks that are already associated with this surgery, I sure didn't want to add any unnecessary ones.

So, I have, as of today, become a July 2013 Sleever. I have had consult, EGD test, insurance approval and now got scheduled for the 12th. All this done in less than ten days with the new clinic and surgeon!

I still wish each of you June Sleevers MUCH success, FAST recovery, and all your health issues greatly improve each day!

      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.
