I'm hoping to have my surgery in November at Kaiser (West Los Angeles). I completed the 12 week of Options Classes that are required, lab work done, EKG, chest x-rays and pre-op appointment going over all the test results. Everything was good there but I was low on Vitamin D.

Now I'm waiting on the call to set up my appointment with the surgeon! I guess the EGD will be scheduled after? Can't wait to be with you all on the losers bench!! :D

Do you know what part of Austin your moving to? Have to let me know how you feel after surgery, that is what I am scared of.

Oh, the only things I have left to do are, ABG's, an all day education class (nutrition I think), and to meet with my doctor again. I have my ABG's on Sept 30th, and I'm going to pick up my preop diet info at that time.

      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.
