So I was looking at surgery the end if March but my work denied my time off because the schedule was out! I am an RN and there are only about 3 others trained to do my job and only 1 of them is almost fully trained to do it 100%!

So a few stressful days waiting for the approval from the insurance company it FINALLY came today! It only took 3 days but felt like forever!!! The surgery scheduler called today and we set it up for April 2nd, that way work will approve it!! Up to this point I have not been nervous at all but now finally am since it is all a go! BUT OVERALL SOOOO EXCITED TO END THIS CHAPTER OF OBESITY AND FEELING DOWN ON MYSELF & TIME TO START A NEW HEALTHIER LIFE!!!

Hello. I'm an RN too, and my surgery is scheduled for April 3. Exciting, but scary, too. Best of luck to both of you! I'll look forward to seeing how we all do. I think the support through this site is amazing.

      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.
