For me, my pre-op was looking at my overall health...doing blood work. My Vitamins and stuff like that. They also looked at my thyroid and cholesterol. I had an EKG and a chest X-ray. I'm with @defitvt though, they are looking to see if you cheated...that is funny!

I have my preop on Monday! Sounds like they take blood, urine, and talk through the procedure. Anyone know what they are testing for?

My surgery is scheduled for March 24th but I'm not at OCC though! :)

March 26 @ OCC. Would love to connect with anyone who has surgery around the same time.

So I have surgery in 6 days! I had my pre-op yesterday and they did blood testing to figure out what my blood type was and a urine test to make sure I am not pregnant. I figured since I am on my period this week that it would be a pretty straight answer, but I understand them wanting to be sure. Which let me tell you.. The universe is getting back at you for something if you go on your period the same time you are on a liquid diet. I seriously do not know how I am able to interact with people without losing it!!

I hear you Spicy06! I haven't had my period in a year (I'm 46) and it decided to visit me this past week, with surgery tomorrow. I've been doing a lot of hiding in my room in the evenings so I don't hurt anyone's feelings with my crankiness :D The rest of the day is a different matter - lol.

      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.
