I will work on getting a list together tomorrow;) if unless someone else wants to

If you tell me how I can get everyone's dates I would gladly do it. I have a whole day of nothing to do tomorrow and could do it. I know everyone isn't listed just under this forum of August surgeries. they have posted elsewhere. any suggestions?

Might be easiest to start an August surgery dates threads and just invite everyone to post their dates there so you're not hunting them down. Or you can do it on this thread and just ask everyone to repost their date so you're not searching.

I was just planning to draw out a calendar and start at the beginning of the thread and write them all down. Then just create a list. I would just concern myself with the people who post on this thread, and encourage others to come here. Trying to run around this whole site would be a total headache lol! Does that make sense?

Is anyone else on antidepressants or meds for fibromyalgia? They don't make them chewable.< /p>

I was told by my psych. That most all medicines can be compounded into liquid by a specialty compounding pharmacy. My bar. Surgeon says I should have no problems swallowing my pills though...

      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.
