All done my pre op requirements. The Surgeon's Nurse called me yesterday but got my machine. Hoping she has good news for me and will call today! Hoping for June 1st RNY. Fingers crossed!!

Ok! Scheduled for 6/1. I have a whole pre op day scheduled for 5/26. Will meet with Anesthesia, the Surgeon and go to a Group Nutrition class for pre ops. That's a week before the surgery date , so it doesn't seem like I'll have a liquid pre op diet week or two.

I am scheduled for RNY 6/30 as long as insurance approves after I finish my 3 month diet. Really need as many mentor/buddies as I can get, very nervous.

Alright, alright! Our June crew is shaping up. Let's keep in touch. I welcome the support as I am doing this alone. I'm divorced. Adult kids live far away. No current Boyfriend. I haven't shared this with anyone and I prefer it that way.

I'm June 7. Revising from lap-band which was removed on March 16. The process has taken well over a year. It feels a little surreal now that it's really getting close.

@@waterwoman, I agree. I started the process in October and June seemed far away. Now that surgery is in 3 weeks, it definitely feels surreal. I have all this nervous energy. Heck, I'm completely redecorating my bedroom. New furniture, linens, paint, carpeting, the works. I feel like I'm nesting!

I worry about weird things, like what if I'm that one person that the surgery doesn't work for or what if I have complications and I can't go back to work as scheduled? I have to work, I'm my sole support. What if all my hair falls out? Gosh, I just need to get this done and be on the other side!

      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.
