BUMMED. Dr.'s office called and needs to reschedule my surgery because my surgeon's travel arrangements have been changed. He doesn't have enough rest time before surgery. I am totally on the verge of tears. She is calling me back with a date. They are not even trying to work us into the schedule we basically go to the back of the line to get a new date. I told her I didn't think that was very fair. I have already taken off time from work and so did my husband.. Where's the Debbie downer music when you need it....

I always believe that everything happens for a reason...I know it's frustrating and sort of hurts your feelings....butbtherevis a reason

I had all my final appointments today and final classes and testing done. I won't see anymore doctors until its surgery time. The down side is that I was told some sort of line has to be out in the day before because my BMI is so high. I think that scares me more than anything else.

Surgery date May 8th. Scared to death. Started liquid diet Sunday and cheated by nibbling here & there. Feeling like a failure. Getting better with it though. Add me to the surgery list for May. Thanks

      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.
