Anesthesia pre op now done too. He reviewed my medical history and told me which meds to take the Morning of surgery. Interestingly enough, he said to stop all Vitamins and supplements as of today. The only supplement I take is an occasional melatonin. Home now with my feet up and a cup of chicken Bone Broth, rereading through all the handouts I received today.

Thanks for the info. After I was approved last week they scheduled me for 3 pre-op appointments. One per week leading up to surgery as follows:

6/7: pre-op testing at the hospital (whatever that is)

6/13: pre-op class with the nurs

6/21: meet again with surgeon

6/27: surgery

My surgery day is the same as you. 6/27.

6/7: A group counseling session

6/9: Pre/op day. Meeting with the surgeon again, NUT to review pre/post op diet and bone density scan

6/13: start two week high Protein liquid diet. I believe I am allowed 4 oz of real Protein, like chicken, yogurt, eggs and unlimited no starchy veggies with 4 Protein shakes a day.

6/27: THE BIG DAY! I am scheduled to arrive at the hospital at 1:15pm which makes me nervous since you can have nothing to drink, not even Water after Midnight!

      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.
