WELLLLLLL it looks like I will be having surgery tomorrow. Just left the Gyno office and he talked to the Barbaric Surgeon and recommended go ahead with surgery and remove the ovary at the same time. So unless I hear something different this afternoon I am on Clear Liquids and mentally preparing myself. Please say some prayers for me. I have been up and down and all over the place, I thought for sure it would be postponed again. I am in a bit of shock right now.

Congrats, Vicki! So exciting. I'm sure you've been on such a roller coaster--I'm so glad you are going in tomorrow. Less time to really worry! Good luck. Let me know how it goes with the revision. I'm having the revision on Monday. You're in my thoughts and prayers. Good luck!

Thank you. I am going to have an internal makeover, lap band out, new pouch, intestine reroute and an ovary with a mass on it removed. Heck there won't be anything left in there. I am in shock. But you are right a lot less time to really worry. I will let you know as soon as I can

It's so wonderful hearing all of this great news and positivity going around! I'm so grateful to have this place to come to for inspiration!

Last night I got a little tired of just having broth, so I decided to make egg drop soup! It was really easy, just heat up the broth, season to taste, and slowly drizzle a beatten egg (or 2) into the broth while you stir it clockwise like a whirlpool. The egg cooks almost immediately so after about a minute it's all done! Clear liquid WITH protein!!

Does anyone else have any liquid ideas to pass along?

Hi everyone! Add me to the list! I went to meet the surgeon today and they scheduled me for my surgery Dec 5th' date=' Hershey, PA. It was either that or January. I'm just a little worried that it is too short of a time frame for my insurance approval. Has anyone had any problems with a long wait for insurance to approve? I had to start my liquid diet as soon as I left the office. Soooo excited, but sooooo nervous.[/quote']

Congrats

      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.
