Guys, i'm going insane. Thing is, my surgery is set for January 6th, not only am I starving but I have to admit I am excited as can be.

Yesterday I went in for my pre-surgical testing and thank the heavens that everything came out perfect, or so I thought.

Later in the afternoon, I got a phone call saying, "we found something in your urine, it looks like an infection."

Like are you kidding me? Ive had infections down there before and I havent had any symptoms or else I would of gotten it taken care of a while ago instead of now. Supposedly, this could make my surgery be postponed. Like are you serious, she said that there is also a chance that it might still be set as long as im being treated but that it all depends on my surgeon.

I'm just wondering, has this ever happend to anyone else? I'm going insane.. I just really don't want to wait any longer for my surgery.

Don't worry it could have just been what's called a dirty catch. They will probably have you retested. They may provide them but take baby wipes with you and wipe before peeing in the cup. Most times the urine comes back clean and you're fine. If not they will start you on antibiotics, but it shouldn't prevent your surgery.

Oh boo sorry to heR! I hope everything turns out ok for you. It could prob be something small like a bladder or yeast infection. Sending positive thoughts your way

YOU are making yourself crazy.

Don't do that.

Everybody here has had the surgery, and so far as I know we're all still alive. :)

And doing pretty well. :)

      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.
