Given the fact that we all will have or probably will have surgery this month, I am curious if anyone in the December group has a flu shot? Have you asked the surgeon? Has it been a topic of conversation? I wonder with the surgery, the post surgery diet and the weakened state if flu is a concern?

I have gotten a flu shot each of the last three years, wondering about this year?

I work for a hospital so it was mandatory. I already had mine last month. It wouldn't hurt to have one but I would ask your doc first just to make sure.

I got my flu shot, too and it was also mandatory. Probably a good idea to get it, our immune systems will take a beating with the surgery.

You flu shots are mandatory. I got a flu shot once and sick, I've never got one since.

My doctor always recommends the flu shot but I've always declined.

Every time I look at our list I just go :huh: ! We have a large group but it will be so nice to share our experiences together.

I agree. For the longest time there was no action in the December 2013 area and now look at us! I love how almost everyone has at least one person going in on the same day.

Hello all! I have been lurking for at least a month so I finally decided to join the group. I'm happy to be a fellow December sleever! My date is 12/16. I started the process in April and finished up the 6 month requirements with my PCP in Sept. Of course, there were some delays but insurance approval was received last week. I had to put off surgery till December because we already had a family vacation planned for Disney World during Thanksgiving week. Let the stress, anxiety, fun times begin!!!

      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.
