Hi Gardengirl, I would love to talk too! I'm also very new so still trying to navigate the site. I'm not sure how or if you can send personal messages, I would think you can somehow. This is a great forum with lot's of advice, support. Have you already got a firm date for your op? Oh my name is Joanne :-)

Awesome!! My dr office won't schedule my surgery until sleep study is complete. Insurance is approved though. Are you having surgery in Detroit?

My middle child is at camp outside of Detroit right now. Ortonville...going there next Friday to pick her up.

What kind of pre-op diet will you be facing?

Yes I'm having it in Detriot at St John. I have a 2-week liquid diet. Where abouts are u located?

I'm working with Dr. Foote, Grand Health Partners in Grand Rapids, MI. Waiting for my sleep study to be completed and then hopefully schedule a date at end of August. His assistant is not good at returning phone calls so I'm a little frustrated...

I am in Washington State, I have done everything just waiting for the aproval from the insurance. I am excited but very reserved at the same time. They had me do soo many tests it has been a long 8 months. I have been married for 18 years and have 5 children. I work from home and you are the first person I have talked to.

      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.
