@@Msnursekrystal It is a crappy thing but I will tell you, expect to feel like this for about a month. Your body is going through some crazy changes. Make sure you stay hydrated! It is all worth it in the end, I promise!

@MaryC94. Surgeons are all so different in their requirements for diets I am not surprised they have different pre-op tests ordered. Unless you have a specific concern I wouldn't worry about it, I'm sure they are required by different insurance companies to meet different criteria. Good luck!

When I started the first time they wanted me to do sleep studies, arterial blood gas tests, cardiac consult, all kinds of xrays and scans. This time it was just minimum surgical preop. I think because my first one was a teaching hospital they get grant money for all kinds of data for long term studies. This time I'm in a private hospital.

They told me yesterday to bathe in dial soap up to two days before surgery and the morning of. She said no perfumes and stuff. My question is this. Does that mean deodorant, face cream, Shampoo, and chipped toe nail polish? She talked fast lol

My surgeon says deodorant is ok. No face cream, no nail polish. Completely free of everything.

After you shampoo and condition then bathe in the dial soap so that it's the last thing on your body. My surgeons office actually gave us special packets of soap to bathe with the night before and morning of.

      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.
