Hello all! My insurance approved my surgery, which will be November 6!!! I am almost there????????. Will be looking for a lot of support, words of wisdom, or any input you can offer! My pre op is this coming Tuesday. I work with children, and, of course have come down with a sinus infection/severe allergies. Anyways, lifting up prayers that I will be healthy as the next two weeks approach. What's the worse that can happen? Delayed surgery, oh well!! Keep on swimming, keep on swimming--right?! Just want to be healthy and have stamina for when surgery is over. Would love a surgery buddy!!

I will pray that your sinus infection/severe allergy dissolves away and does not affect your upcoming surgery and that all goes well.

Oh hey, I'm totally on board with the "Keep on swimming" reference! See my pic. ????

Congrats on your upcoming surgery and I hope your sinuses clear before the big day!

I am a second grade teacher and I am scared to death that I'll get sick before Monday. Pray and use lots of hanitizer...that's also known as hand sanitizer to my kids.

      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.
