I has to do a sleep study and said I needed a C-pap machine and they want at least 10 days of use before they will sign off on the surgery- really sucks!

That was the same thing I had been on Cpap since 8/23 now my surgery scheduled for the 23rd so ready

5 days till surgery. Have already lost 21 pounds but I want to cheat so bad today. All I want is meat, like meat loaf or breaded chicken. Haven't cheated yet and I am committed but its getting hard as I have been on this liquid diet for 9 days already (doc gave me 2 weeks).

Hey sugery buddy!. I know what you mean about pre op. I've lost 11. I have found, stuff like sugar free popsicles really help. You can do it. Did they give you a time for when you are going in? They won't tell me till Friday...:(

Wow 21 pounds, you got to love that! Keep your eye on the prize the next 5 days will fly by. Just keep yourself busy, and if you have a family to cook for it helps if you cook things that you don't like that much. I love Mexican food and we usually have some kind of Mexican dish each week. I refused to make it while I was on my pre-op.

How is everyone else doing that had surgery today? This has been the strangest surgery I've ever had. I was in a lot of pain when I first woke up, but they finally got it under control. For me, it wasn't painful at the incision site, but where they did the cutting inside. It's now about 12 hrs later and I gotta say that this is the least painful surgery I've had. Definitely not as bad as gallbladder or csections. Just wanted to share. Good luck everyone!

Glad to hear your not having much pain. I felt it was a walk in the park compared to having two c-sections. Hope you have a speedy recovery!

      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.
