The October list of Surgery's is in the Pre operation Gastric Bypass Surgery Question & Answers just down a ways from this topic. Hopefully I've collected everyone, if not just go to it & leave me a message of your date.

Best of luck to tomorrow's surgery @@kimvox66 & @@SookieLei & @@Deanah

@@guyfrom315 So glad to hear your up & around!! I think the gas pains has been my worst fear!!!!

@@jolms glad you had some colleagues that could recommend someone for you, it always helps to know you have a good surgeon, everyone has raved about mine.

I had my pre-op today, went well & I lost 7 lbs. yea!!! Stocked up on my Protein Powder & Vitamins, found the Biotene moisturizing spray at Walgreens. I also splurged on some magazines to read when I get home. I think I'm just about ready!!!

October 13th surgery date, here.

The pre-op diet hasn't been so bad.

Today I rediscovered the many great flavors of Crystal Light. I drank most of a pitcher of grape flavor. Stuff is awesome. I bought at least 5 more flavors to give it some variety.

      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.
