I am in a situation at work that I need to be scheduled a certain day. At first it was June 3. Then some other staff made changes and now I need it to be June 1 or I will have to wait until July. I'm hurrying to get everything done so it can be submitted to insurance. But I am getting nervous. Ugh!

New to this forum, just got a surgery date of 6/1. Been on a pre op of 2 shakes and a no fat, no carb meal since beginning of May. Can't wait for this surgery, tired of being hungry! Nothing left to do but wait. I've been so tired, hard to bring myself to excersise. Has anyone else dealt with 8 weeks pre-op? My doctor does this with every patient. How do I get energy?

Oi Vey! An 8 week pre-op? Yikes! I have heard of 4 week but not 8. I will pray for you! My doctor is having me do a 2 week 40 carb a day diet. Hang in there! It will be worth it to start your new life.

Thank you, I can use all the prayer I can get! This is hard, but I know it will be worth it in the end.

Met with the surgeon on Tuesday and he told I've been approved. Just need a clearance from PCP and a new cardiac clearance. Hopefully everything stays on track to still have surgery in June. He also warned that I can't gain any weight, or he won't do the surgery. So I decided to start the pre-op diet. Best of luck.

      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.
