Yup. I was actually calling to get my class date. I was told it'd prob be Monday before I got a surgery date but figure they prob only do the classes 2-3 times a month and they schedule them so its not like they find an opening persay like with the surgery. Either there is a class scheduled that hasn't been filled or there isn't. So' date=' I was calling about the class. When they called me back they mentioned the surgery date on the message (not the actual date but just that they were calling to schedule a surgery date). I wonder if classes are surgeon specific like the orientations were??[/quote']

The other class wasn't the lifestyle discovery one had all diff people in there. And I think the classes are done every Tuesday from 9-1 or 2-6 or something along those lines

Question for the ppl going to IU North... Do any of you know if we have a pre-op liquid diet? I think its just ms jackson and I, and we don't know, but I figured I'd ask just in case.

I am going to IU North. As far as the facility, they have no liquid diet, but my surgeon will put me on one prior to surgery but I think it is for 2-3 days. I meet with him on Oct 2 and surgery is Oct 9.

We share a surgeon :) but I'm pre-op. I have "heard" many ppl complain of left side pain post-op. A good online friend had her surgery and the pain persisted for 4-5 week b4 it subsided. I believe its pretty normal. Prayers it goes away soon for ya! Congrats on making it to the bench.

      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.
