I'm worried and stressing but mainly I'm upset about Christmas and the fact that I may not get to spend it with my kids :( here the doctor keeps you from 2-4 nights so I'm hoping everything goes great for me and I can leave on Christmas Eve :) anyone else a Christmas sleever?

Where is your surgery? Usually you're only staying a night or two, most of the hospital staff will want to be home too so I'd be surprised if they plan for routine patients to hang around. I'd suggest talking to your surgeon's office to ask, worst case you can ask to postpone the surgery by a week.

Military hospital they are more cautious bc we aren't paying patients so they can be more cautious besides a lot of the patients travel to this hospital so the dr just wants to make sure there are no leaks and stuff :/ it's common protocol at this hospital... I'm also afraid to postpone bc I'm a dependent which means not priority so if I postpone there's a possibility I would have to wait months :/

      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.
