So I have a UTI can my surgery be postponed for that? I did my preop testing today for surgery in two weeks. I go on the 7th to go over the results of my pee test and blood work.

We must be twins. I have a UTI as well and my pre op is also the 7th. So, I asked my team and spoke with the nurse and they said it's not a problem. Just get it treated and take your antibiotics and you should be okay. I also took the pyridium / AZO that is over the counter for pain and you should be okay. I also read that of you need it and still have a UTI day of surgery they can give you the antibiotics through the iv.

So, surgery will be postponed if you have a UTI. My nurse said that if you have any infection including a UTI you can become septic and have a lot of complications. So you better make sure you tell your team you have or had the UTI. It's dangerous if you don't. That's what I was told.

      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.
