I've been going through a similar situation, so I know how frustrating and depressing it can be. I'm so happy you're having the surgery though! I'm so happy you've past that road block. Good luck to you for a speedy recovery. Keep us all updated!

thank you so much. I hope yours are resolved so you can get on with your journey too. This has been such a roller coaster. I think I will really believe it about 5 tomorrow afternoon when it is done and I am in my room and somebody is asking me to walk. Hugs

[*]Hi first of all just a bit of background. I am a 57 year old waiting for revision from band to rny. I was approved for surgery. On Nov 7' date=' Minutes before being taken back for surgery Doc comes in and says my Blood sugars are too high and we need to postpone surgery till Dec 5 and to work with my endo to get the sugars under better control (i am very uncontrolled which is my reason for wanting the surgery)

[*']meanwhile I begin having really severe pain in my lower right abdomen and in my right back area. I call my Family Doc like a good girl thinking this must be a kidney stone or something. Family Doc has ultrasound done, no stones, no infection no clue.

[*]Baratric Surgeon orders an abdominal ct scan, it shows something on the right ovary

[*]Baratric Surgeon orders a pelvic ultrasound and wants me to see my Gynecologist (haven't been to one in more than 20 years, just use my PCP for that)

[*]Baratric Nurse called and read the ultrasound report and it shows a mass and a cyst and some calcification on the ovary.

[*]The first appt I could get (started calling Monday) to see a Gyno was this coming Tues at 11:00

[*]Bypass surgery is supposed to be Wed.

[*]So I have been on a pre op diet for the better part of six weeks.

[*]I am very discouraged and just don't know what to think.

[*]I feel like I am so close to having the opportunity to get healthy and my body is fighting me every step of the way.

[*]I just wanted to let everyone know and ask for your prayers and any advice.

[*]Thanks for reading all of this

My prayers are with u

      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.
