Almost there. 7 more days. Hoping for no hiccups at home and I stay healthy until then. Fingers crossed. So looking forward to surgery.

Dcostella, how was your process? I'm curious to know what the difference is between the kaiser, sutter, and UC Davis programs.

UC Davis has been wonderful!!! I had Kaiser for about 4 years and changed to Davis last year. Kaiser was horrible with my Fibromyalgia. They wouldn't even talk to me about WLS but Davis was great about it.

I love Kaiser however I've tried for many years to qualify for WLS under my joint pain and severe back issues. Never could qualify until I finally hit 40 BMI. Now until this weight is gone, everything just hurts more.

I'm June 16th too. I have my pre-op physical this week (the 29th), then mini class (6/3) and then pre-op seminar on 6/12. Anyone doing a "last supper" of sorts with your favorite foods? I'm going to go out to a couple of my favorite restaurants and have enjoy some yummy food before my pre-op diet starts. What are y'all planning on taking to the hospital?

      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.
