I'm scheduled for the 25th, next Wednesday. My emotions right now are off the chart! Not only am I hungry....day 8 of pre op diet but I am still feeling yucky from a sinus infection. Trying to stay positive but it's hard to do. Ready for it to just be done already!

Was the zpak part of preop? I didn't have to have one of those. Although my nurse told me to call if I felt like I was coming down with something so I could be put on antibiotics before surgery.

No the zpak is an antibiotic for the sinus infection.

Oh. Your lucky! I am congested in one nostril and am scared to call and ask for something because nurse said call and get antibiotic if needed but surgeon said it would be canceled if I got sick/needed antibiotic because its considered elective. I'm hoping its due to allergies or my husbands dog (allergic to pet dander)

10:30 but not set in stone yet. I was hoping for an earlier time.

Im glad I got an early time. I'm not a big morning eater anyways so not being able to eat or drink anything before hand will be easy. Plus I have a two and a half hour drive to get up there. Being awake at 2am is not what I had planned but it'll be good because I'll be tired!

      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.
