Had my preop today. Had an EKG, chest X-ray, 10 tubes of blood for baseline labs. After all that, went to see the doc & he will write me out for 4 weeks (thru Christmas!!). No liquid diet but must be on low fat diet 2 weeks before. No gravy on the turkey!

Suznc that is awesome! I have my preop tests tomorrow with my primary care physician.... oddly I'm more nervous for that then surgery... I hate blood draws! ;-) the countdown really is in, isn't it!

I had pre-op today. I was so nervous but it wasn't as bad as I thought. Video, Consent forms, blood draws, group class, meeting with surgeon and anesthesiologist (sp).

I wanted to try going back to work after a week and a half but my surgeon says no sooner than 2 weeks and 3 at the most! :( I think I'm going to go stir crazy at home. :wacko: So it looks like I possibly won't be back to work until December.

Time is certainly flying! How are all our November Post-Op sisters doing?

November post-op ladies, you are rockin it! Keep up the great work! Cannot wait to join you on the other side! Only 8 more days!!!!!!!!!

Got the approval call on Monday, spoke with the hospital's pre-registration today. I'm kinda Zen right now. It's strange, I have absolutely no desire to eat the world. I am actually repulsed by food for the last 2 weeks. Maybe it's my way to psyching myself into this LOL

Keep the updates coming!!!

Hey, everyone! I haven't posted much but I've been keeping up with everyone through my emails. You all are such an amazing group. So supportive. Best wishes to everyone on their way in and speedy recovery to those coming out!

I had my pre-op today. It went well. Biggest surprise? Found out I'll be recovering in a luxury hotel suite. LOL Sweet. I'm almost more excited for that.

To those already on the bench, thanks for keeping us posted. I'll do the same when my turn comes around (13th).

I also saw some posts about what folks are drinking. Crystal Light has some great new ( to me) flavors: Mojito, Margarita, and Appletini to change it up a bit. YUM!!! Yay for Appletini. I'm just sayin'...

      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.
