hope you have a great day, lots of tests and questions and stuff I am sure, don't remember from when I had the band. But it is still one more day closer and feels like you are doing something besides just waiting.

Tell us all about it later.

For me it was when the doctor gave me all the time I wanted to ask him questions. He kept saying you sure you have no more questions? I laughed to myself because I had done so much research and asked so much in here I kinda did not have many questions. My hubby did ask when we could have sex but other than that it was just info about what to expect during and right after surgery basically. Then I had to go get some blood work done, an EKG done and filled out a lot of forms including consent for surgery forms and given the advanced healthcare directive to complete and return on the day of surgery. Other people had different things happen so it does depend on your surgeon. Good luck this was one of the easier appointments and most exciting.

The doctor that can in to talk to me was not my Sergeant, it was some other doctor. One of the first things she said was "you don't look like you need this surgery." I wanted to pop her up side her head. If I didn't need it I wouldn't be here! SMH that's what I expect to here from my friends and family that I'm not telling about it, for this reason... I've loss weight and gain and loss, I'm do tired of the yo-yo cycle. I just can't believe she actually said that to me.

She asked what my BMI was I told her 40 she asked my weight and I told her 5 10. She looked it up and said well you are just at 40. Then she went ahead with the other questions.

Height masks weight very well. I was 315 at my highest weight and everyone used to lie and tell me how I wasn't that big :blink: . But then again I am now 100 lbs lighter and now their telling me I'm TOO thin... :rolleyes: I've just learned to ignore the comments and keep my eye on my goals.

Congrats on your pre-op appointment! Not much longer now!!!

      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.
