Ok got someone to block out 2 weeks for me. All depends on when I get to have the surgery of course.

She asked me what I was doing and I told her I was having surgery. She asked me for what and I simply told her that only my husband and dad know- then she hugged me...... My room knows I will be soon starting a new way of eating, I just told them low carb an high Protein. I usually eat lunch in the lunch room with my girls, ill just drink shakes and such now instead of big bowls of salad or hot lunch!

My surgery was on a thursday, came home saturday (was ready to go home friday, but because I lived 3 hours from surgeon, he chose to keep me an extra day). Monday I was picking up my, then 20 month old, baby and by Wednesday was driving my other 2 girls to school. I didn't bring laundry baskets up from the basement for another 10 days, but that was mostly because I was milking it for as much help from the hubby as I could get! LOL I think you'll be fine if you can get them to schedule on a friday, my surgeon did monday, wednesday or thursday surgeries.

Good Luck!

      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.
