Good Luck.

I'll try to do the same. Can't guarantee it, most everyone says they don't feel like getting on the net. Can't say I blame them.

I'm worried about being able to get my liquids and Protein in also. My job is only allowing me to be off the Wednesday of my surgery and expects me to be back on Monday. I've done it before' date=' but it was just a lap gallbladder...not something major like having the biggest part of my stomach cut out! They just don't understand!! I might just have to take the risk and call in sick for a few days to allow myself to get used to things![/quote']

What type of work do you do?

I'm sept 25. I'm very nervous. Ansthesia...just thought of being put to sleep makes me nervous! But I'm so ready for this surgery:) mix emotions I guess.

Hello Aleembran, I have been put to sleep a few times and had no trouble with it. When you wake up you can't hardly believe the surgery has already taken place. Praying you have peace and no issues during or after surgery.

I agree you might have to call in sick. Wishing you the best.

      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.
