I just looked mine up on my insurance and I have to have 6 consecutive dietician appointments in 6 consecutive months. That I will have by July. I started end of February and last one is July 3. They moved them a little each time to get me from the end to the beginning of the month. I guess Im good unless they just switched something. Shew!

No Friday scheduling for me, sadly. My surgeon only does sleeves on Tuesday. So I'll be working Monday, surgery Tuesday and coming back to work the following Monday. If I'm still not feeling great I'll either work half days or take a few more days off.

Try to schedule it on a Friday this way if your taking a week off of work you get 4 extra days off

Just got done my cardiologist appt. she said I dont have to have a stress test and Im all cleared for surgery from her. All I have left is sleep Apnea test on May 10 that they rescheduled from last week and Im cleared from all my preop tests and exams. I'm glad all these different drs appts since January have been time consuming.

And by the way I'm a mom of two boys also. Lol

      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.
