this is what I found. PACE (Pre-operative Assessment, Consultation, and Education) is a program designed to make it easy and convenient for you to have all your pre-operative tests conducted at one time and place.

I am assuming that this is Pace: PACE (Pre-operative Assessment, Consultation, and Education) is a program designed to make it easy and convenient for you to have all your pre-operative tests conducted at one time and place. You will also receive all the information you will need to help hasten the healing process. Simply come to the PACE Center at your scheduled time and a team of health professionals will begin the process for preparing you for your procedure.

Yep, pre-op tests. Mine was meeting the anesthesiologist, they did an EKG, drew blood, did blood pressure, listened to my lungs and a couple of other things. It took about an hour. If they find any issues they will alert your surgeon. They found an abnormality with my EKG so I had to have my primary doctor give me clearance. He just looked at an old EKG and saw the same thing and said nothing was wrong and it is just the way my heart beats.. I dunno.. My mom always said I marched to the beat of a different drummer.. I didn't know she meant it literally.. lol :P

      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.
