Hey Shelli, i agree. I will b at a mtf, which i pray will b end of oct, but i wonder as well bc the reason its takn me from june of this yr up until now, is bc of the furlow (sp) at least thats what the nut said. Now that ive been stalled by the nut for my 3rd visit to her, now i have to deal w this frkn shut down. Makes me wonder if som1's trying to tell me somthn, geesh!!! gl to u. I go c surgeon on the 11th, i ll ask him for sure:/ Prayerfully we wont get affected or theyll opn bck up soon. Again, gl2u!

Well I'm not for sure if this helps, but I just had mine done on Oct 2 at fort Campbell. They haven't stopped the surgeries there the nurse said. Not for sure what any other bases are doing, but I was so pleased with my entire processes. My doctor was amazing! Best of luck!

yes. I've been on a modified Optifast diet since last Thursday. I start a 2 wk optifast only diet on the 10th. I've lost 8 lbs since last Thursday. What about you?

      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.
