Surgery might not be happening tomorrow:(

Whenever I've checked in for any type of surgery, usually outpatient, they will ask for my photo ID and insurance, and run it to get the required co-pay. I actually just sent a note to the surgery insurance gal to ask what my co pay is. She said $175 a day (hopefully I will only be in for a day or two) since I haven't met my deductible yet.

I was sleeved on 6/20.

3 days of total pain and total regret. Walk walk walk. Then walk some more. Hold your stomach up and in, where the gut bounces as you walk - should be left side

Day 4 felt better, just abdominal pain

Day 5 felt even better, abdominal pain

Day 8 felt awesome, abdominal pain and severe diarrhea

Day 9 small amount of abdominal pain

      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.
