I've had so much going on lately, I FORGOT about my preop appointment Friday. My surgery is June 3rd. I'm so scared I will have to reschedule surgery since I missed my appt, not to mention it's a short week. :0(

Sniff sniff.

Oh my goodness...

Well, I would imagine they don't want to lose all that $$$ they are going to make next week, but still - you are at their mercy!

Chalk it up to pre-op jitters, unless subconsciously you are not wanting to go through with this?

Keep us posted and hang in there!!!

It's a little bit of both, I think... And no preop diet, just the liquids the day before. I cannot believe this happened. Stuff of nightmares. The crazy thing is- I have ALL of my appointments on my phone, this one did NOT alert me like it should have. W T F!!!

Well hopefully they can squeeze you in somewhere... But also make sure that you are really ready for it, there is no shame in delaying a bit if you need too.. I only say that because you said you might be second guessing a bit.

Just call on Tuesday and hopefully they can squeeze you in somewhere, which they probably will. If they can't and your surgery has to be rescheduled, just remember- everything happens for a reason! Good luck!

I agree Mysti. And this week, myself and both my boys were dealing w the after effects of strep throat. We were all on antibiotics (the kids amoxicillin and me the penicillin shot to the tush). It was awful. I work part time & take care of both my children mainly on my own, so I'm ver organized.... This was very out of character. I have a very supportive husband but he works like crazy so I'm left picking up the slack.

Anyway don't want to sound like I'm complaining. I just cannot believe I did this.

What is really upsetting is that this is a new bariatric center. I believe I'm the first official patient. I feel AWFUL.

      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.
