So excited , today I got labs completed and the Pulmonary Dr. done. Best part is I do not have to do the sleep apnea test again. I have the cardiologist and psychologist left.

Hey, I just noticed that our surgery dates are on the same day!

Are you self-pay? I ask because I had to get the labs and psych test done for the insurance approval, which they had to have before they'd even think about scheduling me.

They scheduled my surgery even though I'm waiting on the sleep study results and the psychologist evaluation. I got to choose the date and all. I guess they figure they can always reschedule if the need arises.

I also wanted to squeeze surgery in over spring break but as it turned out my doctors were out of town and I couldn't get approval in time anyway. I figure it was all a good thing anyway because the week off probably wouldn't have been enough time. Now with my June 13th date I'll have all summer to recoup before returning to my lovely 8th graders????

I'm psyched to go back after summer break and hopefully be somewhat smaller - although I know it will only be a couple months out. Do you think eating will be easier at home or when we go back to school?

I completely understand what you mean! I've said to a few friends at work that I'm looking into weight loss options and even surgeries because I want to lose weight but nothing else. They don't know that's it's all ready to go. I said to my husband that I look forward to taking out my winter clothes and bringing them to the consignment shop.

      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.
