Hi Stacy. I am Just north of Austin in Georgetown. Your surgery is very soon! I understand the anxiety. Where will you be having it? I have just begun the process. In the midst of waiting for insurance approval. I want to get on with this. if approved, My surgery will be at St David's in Austin. How long did it take you to get to the point where you are now? It seems to vary. How long before the onset of the process until getting your actual date of surgery.

We gotta' hang in there and become BIG LOSERS. Never thought I would aspire to be a big loser. ???? Blessings to you,..Suzi

Thank you so much. I am scheduled to get a chest x ray and an upper gi test. Kinda nervous about that gi test. Does it hurt? Do they put you to sleep?

You are put to sleep during the upper GI. No pain at all. Just a nice deep sleep! Everything takes a couple of hours and you will be home. You are able to resume normal activities that day.

      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.
