That doesn't include the charges for reading of the EKG and the chest xray, but that is 50% off too.

He told me I needed to go to a cardiologist and then he gave me clearance and requested bloodwork, EKG and ultrasound of my heart. I will tell you that the cardio tried to talk me out of it saying I didn't need it (lower bmi patient). I just listened, thanked him for his opinion and went on my way. He did give me clearance tho. I also had to have an EGD. He tried to talk me out of it too. My mind was already made up tho :)

Well. I made it. Yesterday was rough! I was so tired I couldn't walk at all. Threw up once when I took too much liquid pain medicine. I'm feeling better today. I'm sitting up more and will start walking in a little while. Still haven't had anything to drink since around 4pm Sunday.

Today is so much better than yesterday. The difference one day makes is huge! I walked around the block and went shopping with my wife. Time to rest a little now.

I slept practically the whole time. The second day is the worst. I took too much pain medication at one time and threw it up. Since then I haven't taken any.

      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.
