I have been on a cpap since 2010. Honestly I can't sleep without it if you can relax it will be the best sleep you have ever HD. Also I am told by a friend that just had the surgery the hunger dimeishes after surgery.

That's what the surgical team has told me. I was disappointed in that I have a very mild level of sleep apnea. The physician in Sleep Medicine told me that usually for a case as mild as mine they wouldn't recommend a cpap. When the equipment is ready I intend to take full advantage though.

I just got my cpap last week. And I do feel better with it. Although it does slow surgery down 30 days

Initially my surgeon said that I would not be on a preop diet. Now they're telling me I'll get a copy of my diet at preop om the 8th. I'm getting nervous but I've come too far to turn back now!

      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.
