3 weeks until my big day. Starting my pre-op diet today, because I want to meet my goal that I set for myself of being 300 or lower on the day of my surgery. I am not nervous or anything I have had a bunch of surgeries already. I am just ready to get it over with, I am tired of counting down the days.

I go for my preop testing this afternoon -- surgery Monday morning. That is if insurance cooperates -- I got a call from the surgeon's office yesterday that insurance needed a copy of my sleep study report from last year. They already had a clearance letter from the pulmonologist and I've been on cpap for a year but they were asking for one more piece of info. I'm praying this doesn't mean my surgery is going to get denied after pre-approval.

Send happy thoughts my way.

@chrisglowers

Glad to hear you made it out surgery! Sorry to hear about stabbing pain. Is the hospital managing it with pain meds? When do you expect to go home?

Chrisflowers.. I was told that pain could be gas but also from all the poking and prodding they do on the left side. Get up and walk walk walk...

      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.
