STV East was great. Dr. Miles did my surgery. Insurance paid, so I stayed over night. Their nurses are wonderful. I didn't really want to leave. I had a few rough days at home emotionally, but I'm a lot better today. I survived Thanksgiving. It really wasn't that bad, but I went in knowing I'd be watching everybody eat.

Dr. Miles is my doctor too! I have 2 more appointments to finish up my pre-op phase and the last one is on 12/20 to meet with the ENT to see if I need a sleep study! Then my paperwork will be submitted to the insurance company! I am hoping for a surgery date soon!!!

      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.
