Diana .... I feel the same way about letting them all wonder :) just got back from my nutrition appointment .... It went great . I lost 10 lbs which was fine ...I see her one more time . Then just wait for the call for them to schedule my appointment with the surgeon . Can't wait to be where you are at and just waiting for your surgery :)

Thats great! I'm sure she will sign off at your next visit and you'll be on to meeting Dr. Johnson! As long as all of your other paperwork is in, it should take about a week for them to give you a call to schedule your pre-op with him and then a surgery date!!! Dr. O'Malley could have gotten me in for surgery the week following our consult, but if you are on birth control, you need to be off of that for 4 weeks prior due to blood clots. I would've stopped taking much sooner had I known that :) The count down is killing me though....I just want it to be here already!!!

I took about 6 months. He is a very good surgeon. The hospital stay was excellent the whole nursing staff is great. He has a very good team from his office to the team that he use in the hospital. When he comes to see u after your surgery he brings in the whole team that he use to help him perform the surgery. They come every day till u leave.

      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.
