I finished my pre op stuff today and called the surgeon's office to report in, and the gal asked if I wanted to schedule my pre op for her! I have to do a gallbladder ultrasound and an EKG and labs. She also gave me a tenitive surgery date of April 7!!

I was so excited at the beginning of this but now having a possible surgery date, I'm scared out of my mind! All the research and studying I've done has helped, but the "realness" has suddenly hit me. Anybody else go through this? Any words of encouragement besides to just chill and follow the plan?

Thanks in advance!

I don't have a date yet, but I'm really trying to wait patiently! ha!

Congratulations! The nerves are normal I think.. hang in there!

Congrats! I'm feeling the exact same way. The feeling of just wanting to get it over with nerves.

April 7 will be here before you know it.

Congrats! I also have my surgery date for April 7th. Have you began your pre-op diet yet? Or was that not required of you?

      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.
