Right on! Yeah me too, lots of pre-ops on the schedule in the next few weeks. I see my PCP on the 19th for one last thing and then on the 20th I have my pre-op labs scheduled. The 27th is my final Pre-Op with my surgeon.

The time is flying by!

I'm hoping to get surgery by the end of July. All I have left to do is my one last NUT appointment(I have to have approval from them) June 18 and the Psych eval. I've done the upper GI and lab work. I can't wait to be done with this whole process.

They haven't told me anything about a pre op diet. So I don't know yet. I guess I'll start 2 weeks before surgery which is the 23

      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.
