Well last week when Tricare approved me I received a oct 21st date. This morning I received a call from my doctors office to let me know they could move me up to this Tuesday! I rushed like crazy getting my preop testing today and I'm ready! I am so ready ????

I finally have a date. OCTOBER 28. My first contact with my surgeon was November 7, 2013, so it has basically been a year since I started. In that time, I have had uterine cancer, more tests than I ever imagined. And now the time is actually near.

I've already been on the liquid diet for three weeks, and I will be on it until the day of surgery. (Three Protein drinks a day and raw veggies 2 x a day) That does not seem like enough food to me, but I am willing.

I don't have a lot of information on how this all happens. My pre-op appointment is not until October 24. Meanwhile, I wait. I am so happy about this.

I find this website to be extremely helpful. I thank all of you out there for sharing your experiences.

Feeling pretty good for day 2. No gas pains yet. Day after surgery is worse than the first day, the really good stuff has worn off, and all I've got is the pain pump.

The nurses seem worried that when I fall asleep my oxygen levels drop because I'm not taking big enough breaths. But big breaths hurt!!! So they've got me back on oxygen thingies up my nose.

sleep is amazing, walking is fine, no ???? yet!

      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.
