Pre-Op finally done, reporting for surgery @ 530 am tomorrow, got away without having to do bowel-prep, since my surgery is less than 24 hours after pre-op. One trip to pharmacy for pain med prescription and I am ready to go.

I don't think we have to do the bowel prep but we have our last meeting with surgeon tomorrow. Maybe we do. Just have to wait and see.

That like an enema thing?

I have bad news. I spent four hours in pre op to have my doctor come in and tell me my surgery was canceled. I guess my kidney function is down. They said it is caused by the two week liquid diet. So I go back to my normal diet and go see a neurologist and then reschedule my surgery. I was so close, now just disappointed. But I guess better safe then sorry.

I'm sorry about that. But take it from me. I know first hand that your kidneys are vital. I lost my left kidney in year 2010 from kidney failure/ small kidney was decreasing function over the last ten years. I have function in the right so that's great. I'm doing this surgery to live longer, as I'm sure that's the main reason why your having the surgery. Hang in there! When the time is right, it will happen. Prayers your way!

Thanks. My surgeon kept apologizing and I told him I was glad they were being thorough, I would rather wait a little longer then end up more sick. I guess I was all pumped up and ready to go. I could have ended up with kidney failure so a few more weeks are okay. I have my appointment with the nephrologist on May 28th, I will keep you posted.

I've been on a liquid diet for 5days now and today was the worst. But overall not as bad as I thought. I was just kind of woozy.

im 6 days in and I definitely felt the wooziness today, and food is looking very good right about 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.
