Horrible... not as I wanted. In the begining it was perfect.. setting my date and my preop class for next week... THEN boom oh well we need you to do one more test, THEN the nurse was like well now she has to wait until next month for the Preop class. Now I won't be sleeved till the end of July. Hope your appointment was better?

Well I had to go see my pulmonary dr b4 dr Nihalani & he told me I have sleep apnea so now I have to get measured & they have hook me up on a machine to sleep with :( but I have to set it up ASAP before surgery ... So I'm in the June 14th class and pending date of surgery either the 11th or the 18th !! I won't know until Monday !! So more waiting ... I found out He only does surgery every Thursday & every other Friday ... & it's only like 1 or 2 patients in 1 day

What test do you have to get done ??

They want me to get a sleep study done now, which I didn't need before.. and I am losing weight on my own so not 100% sure. The dr they suggested wanted me to wait 2 months for an appointment, I said no thanks and called a different dr. I have to get one more test done for my PCOS. July 3rd I go back to Dr. N's office. July 12th is my Preop class and he said 2 weeks from then will be my date. I have been seeing Dr. N since last August.. just feels like surgery is never happening. UHHHHH -_-

Wow! 3 nights in the hospital? My dr asked if I wanted another night but wanted to be home. Not like they were doing anything else besides bothering me so often.

Just feeling a bit defeated today. I felt the same yesterday so assumed today would be a little better.

I think I need to read some happy posts! I am usually good at tolerating pain. It was better to be sleeping the first few days!!

      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.
