Just an update: Had the hospital nurse call today to go over medical history. I have all pre-op labs and tests scheduled for Oct 5. These next few weeks are gonna fly by too fast. For the longest time I have been planning and all of a sudden I feel like I have nothing in place.

I feel the same way. Mine is next Tuesday. I've been waiting. Now I'm thinking I've still got so much to do! How did that happen?!

@@CHLOE12 I'm single, I live alone in Chicago where I take crowded buses and trains everyday, I love to go out to dinner and drinks. Every once in awhile, I freak out and think what if someone bumps my belly on the train and hurts my pouch?!? Silly things like that make me think WHAT AM I DOING?!? But then I remember how unhappy and unhealthy my weight has made me. We can do this!!!

I'm also from Chicago but I am getting the sleeve. Didn't realize this was a gastric bypass topic till after I posted. Good luck on your journey.

I'm getting the sleeve also I was going to do the RNY but my surgeon talked me out of it. It's for everyone not just RNY. I'm the one that started the post so I could connect to more people having surgery around the same time as me. My date is Oct 5th so this coming up monday.

@@covarrubia911 I have heard of surgery sisters, I have heard of surgery brothers. We here on this thread are "surgery family" we are the October Surgery Family. I care and worry about each of my brothers and sisters and their success. Why??? Because that is what families do. They support one another.

      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.
