I picked up my FMLA papers at wrk today. For reason it made me nervous. It jump started my anxiety. It is made it more real to me that I'm really going to be out of work for 6 weeks because my job does not have light duty. I don't know why I'm freaking out, I guess the thought of me letting HR office know made it more real to me more official. Maybe its because ive never taken a leave from any job so its a new experience for me LOL Did this happen to you?

I got my surgery date today and that made it very real to me. It seems like Ive been waiting for this date since February, and I'm kinda freaking out that I'm scheduled. I'm nervous, happy, scared, excited all at the same time!

My date is September 3rd. The day after labor date. I was hoping to have a date in August, but they were booked. September will be okay though. My kids will be in school so I will be able to recover easier. The only thing that stinks about that date, is that it is the first day of school for my kids and my little guy is going off to kindergarten that day. So, I'm dealing with that emotion today too. He's my baby and my last one at that, so feeling crappy about not being there.

      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.
