jas84047 72 Posted June 18, 2015 Started my 2 wk pre-op liquid diet today. I've had 500 calories today and a total of 112oz of liquid. Oi! I'm doing OK so far hunger -wise but this peeing every hour is for the birds! I even had to leave in the middle of a conference call at work today.... so embarrassing.

Jessicacherry3 71 Posted June 18, 2015 July 7th for me! I'm going on vacation for July 4th so I am going to thoroughly enjoy myself ! I am getting more excited but nervous about recovery. I am praying everyone's surgery and recovery goes smoothly!Do you not have to do a pre-op diet? I don't have to do a pre-op diet ???? just no food or drinks after midnight the day before my surgery.

ExcitedButNervous 2 Posted June 18, 2015 July 23rd for me. I am in the UK, so will be interesting to see how we all differ with follow ups. I just got my official letter in the post today (with the bill which is the nasty bit), so it is feeling like its just around the corner. 5 weeks to day and counting!

AvalonNeeCee 127 Posted June 18, 2015 I am getting so big I am afraid to weigh myself. Maybe I just won't until my presurgery diet starts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LauriTX75 75 Posted June 18, 2015 I am feeling the same way. The stress of not knowing is killing me. But I found out today that I am approved!!! Just waiting for the coordinator to call me. I even told her I needed to know because today was the last day to put our work schedule in and she still didn't call me back! I called the insurance company and they told me I was approved! Hopefully I will get July 6! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wheezysmom 146 Posted June 20, 2015 Date was changed to July 7th .. Only 1 day out but this waiting sucks.. Wish it was tomorrow I know how you feel. While I was in the options classes and when I was done and just waiting for a call from the surgeon's office, I felt like my time would never come. You have a date, that's exciting!

jas84047 72 Posted June 20, 2015 (edited) Where is everyone from if you guys don't mind me asking? I'm from San Jose, California.Salt lake city Utah. On day 3 of 2wk preop diet. Yesterday's Migraine was horrible! Today's headache is a lot less painful. I really haven't been too crazy hungry... but I have my sons birthday cake to make & a big family dinner on Sunday to make it through & I'm very worried. When I was at my preop doc appt yesterday I spoke with the PA who said I could have 1 light string cheese to help my headache and hunger as long as I didn't go over 600 calories total after having my 3 shakes & Clear liquids. That string cheese has been the highlights of my day yesterday & today...LOL. I'm also doing the Premier Protein shakes as well as Muscle Milk. I've lost 4lbs in 3 days.
