Have been working out at the gym for a couple of weeks and dieting and lost about 20 lbs. Dr anticipates about 70 lbs in a year for me. Excited to buy new clothes that will fit.. :) Have a huge support system...

Good Luck! I had my surgery 6 weeks ago and I love it. The first couple of days are hard but it was so worth it.

Got my phone call for tomorrow. My surgery isn't until 5pm. I freaked out on the phone. Is this normal to not have anything for that long amount of time??

That's normal. Sometimes emergency cases get added to the OR schedule and not-so emergent cases get bumped back. Good luck tomorrow!

Thanks. I was just really annoyed that I would have to wait all day long with no liquids. But anesthesiologist called and said nothing for 8 hrs. And hospital has to say 12 hours. Counting down the hours..

      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.
