Just had my consultation on Thursday, May 12. Psych and nutritionist visit on June 1. EDG on June 6. Still have to find a PCP who will do labs and recommend the surgery, but this is happening very FAST. The thought of the EDG freaks me out. Like I almost had a panic attack talking about it with the coordinator. Someone please tell me it's not as awful as it sounds. [emoji15]

EGD was a piece of [emoji513]!

Psych and NUT visit were fine as well. Psych recommended I see a specialist for treatment of PTSD, but still approved me for surgery [emoji4]. I was previously told by a psych that I had symptoms of PTSD and I didn't follow through with treatment. Going to do everything needed to be successful so I'll be calling in Monday for an appt with a trauma specialist. Surgery date is July 27. Cleaning out my pantry (and closet/house). I have a few restaurants picked out that I want to go to before my liquid diet starts on July 13. This is happening VERY quickly!

Saw my PCP on Tuesday. EKG done, and blood work done. Just waiting on PCP to review results and send clearance to surgeon. I've always been relatively healthy (no comorbidity), so I'm hoping nothing has changed in the last couple of years since my last blood panel [emoji256][emoji256][emoji256][emoji256][emoji256][emoji256][emoji256]

      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.
