Hey Heather! I can't figure out how to copy and paste but I'm agreeing with you on your surgery date. I can't seem to find anyone on the 13th so now I'm wondering if its because its Friday the 13th? I'm starting to think we should've picked different dates. I am just so ready to get this done! Hope we still run into each other at the hotel.
I'm on the 13th tooo!! I always find it to be a lucky day for me so I'm very happy to get it. I'm sure it will be lucky for you guys also!

Hi.
Im down for Sept 4th. Im excited and cant believe it. Surgery will be 10 weeks and a day form my first appointment. Yes, you read it right 10 weeks. Im in love with my insurance company and hospital at this moment. I'm from Illinois
Mel

I wish I lived in Illinois! My insurance co. Is awful! They would not pay for my surgery so it's out of pocket. :( And has been much more expensive than I thought with all the tests and such. I guess you have had your surgery now! How are you feeling? I'm due to have mine on Sept 11th, next Monday. I'm really nervous! It has been 3 1/2 months since my first appt. I really wanted the surgery much sooner. I'm even battling with the insurance co right now to approve the medications I need after surgery. :( I truly hope I'm doing the right thing!

How did you feel after the first few day? Gas pains is the worse right now! I'm not hungry but I'm drinking a lot! Been sleeping most of the day. How do you feel now?

if you can force yourself to burp after you drink or take medicine it helps with the gas I had my surgery on 9-6 and that was the worst for me feeling as thought my chest was going to pop.

I feel way better than I thought I would. The gas pains are insane, but thank God they aren't constant. I'm actually going to be discharged today!

      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.
