I just got off the phone with my mom. I have to stay with her when I have my surgery(I live in mental health housing they dont want to be responsible for my surgery) she tells me that she forgot the day of my surgery(may 28) and that my aunt(a nun) has this big conference to go to and needs my mom to keep an eye on some infirm nuns the week of my surgery. I dont mean to make my mom choose but seriously? Theres a choice? I told her it was the 28th.

I guess I could call my surgeons office and change the date but I did that already.... I wasnt completely comfortable with my 1st date wanted to wait a month.

I really dont want to extend the time.. I was getting used to may 28.

I am just really annoyed I have to stay with her.

This totally sucks right now

Please forgive my whining

Talk with your mom about how important that date is for you and you don't want to postpone your surgery. Ask here to tell her sis that she had an obligation .that was already set.and to find someone else. Wasn't this something she knew before her sister's request ? Stand up for yourself. If your mom won't budge..can u stay say someone else's house. After my surgery, I did not need care from someone. However, my daughter did check on me during the day while my husband was set work. Good luck.

      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.
