@@BloomingLotus YEA! I am over the moon for you!!!! My time is 9:30 in the morning (was 6 am, for 8 am, but they moved me to 7:30 arrive, 9:30 surgery) -- what's one more hour and half after all this time, sigh -- Are you ok w/the snow?

@@della street I ended up being ok with the snow - my area got some but not nearly as much as predicted. Some of my friends in Long Island got buried though! I had to show up early for my pre-op testing appointment and PCP appointment for clearance, but made it in before the travel ban and snow got too messy. Both offices were closed yesterday so I had to wait for medical clearance until today! Talk about cutting it close!

So exciting for all of us! Let's be sure to update tomorrow or Friday once we are off the heavy drugs and capable of making sense!

      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.
