You may not be in the June club anymore, but I'm sure the July club will be happy to have you! Hang in there, it's just a delay. It's not an outright denial. Get that sleep apnea under control, it really is that important.

I know how frustrating it is too wait, I was suppose to have surgery on 12/8 and did not have it until 4/9. Though I did not see anything positive about it at the time, looking back I was able to take more time to prepare and be ready. I went in without a second thought and breezed through the surgery and recovery. As the old saying goes "good things come to those who wait" take some time to be frustrated and even pout and then pick yourself up and keep on doing everything you can to prepare for the surgery. Best of luck to you :)

I am doing well, thank you both! Just like many people have said, my abs feel sore like I've done 1000 situps and I occasionally get some back pain. They gave me a prescription for liquid hydrocodone to take twice a day and it helps immensely.

It seems I woke up from anesthesia in a panic because they had laid me flat and I can't breathe when I'm flat because of my weight. I remember the anesthesiologist yelling at me to calm down and stop fighting. :lol: Once they elevated me it was a lot better. The only pain I felt immediately after surgery was a gas pain that would not go away. They offered me pain meds and I took them. Two hours later when they were rolling me out of the recovery room to my room I was in a great mood and laughing and joking with everyone.

      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.
