So the flooding in Northern CO has gotten really bad. Basically there is no way today over the river and we are supposed to continue to get more rain off and off for the next 3 days. My hospital is over the river. I hope that 1st no one loses their more property or life in this flood and 2nd that is receded enough for me to get to the hospital on Monday. I do not want to delay the surgery. Over course being the worrier I am, I worry that if it is delayed how long will it be delayed. It is so hard to wait and wonder

First and foremost YOUR safety is what's important here. I can only imagine how anxious you are, but at this point, the safety of you and the staff is key here. You will get your surgery and everything will be fine! :) I'm sure your surgeon will call you and let you know the status of his surgeries!!

Ditto on your safety being paramount. If your surgery is postponed count it as a blessing. With as unpredictable as flash flooding can be it would almost be better to wait till things calm down. That way if you have a complication you will have easy access to the hospital. Praying for your safety and all those affected.

At this moment there are a few roads open to get to the hospital, however there is more flooding predicted for Sat Night. I talked to the Dr and and as long as I can get there, it is on as scheduled. So we will see what time brings. Sadly school is canceled for Monday so that makes things a bit more complicated, I am working on that though. What a roller coaster ride

Yes I too hope that the roads are safe enough for you to use, to enable you to have your surgery as planned.

      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.
