Hope I typed my previous reply in the correct place I'm having my surgery at Tobey hospital in Wareham, MA

Good luck!!! When do you have to start your preop diet? I'm going through the process now hoping for surgery around Feb or March at St. Elizabeths.

Suaniya, thank you! I'm sorry that I can't figure out how to reply with a quote. Where is St. Elizabeth? I'm starting my preop diet 12/29, a week before surgery.

St. Elizabeths is in Brighton, by Boston. I am from the South Shore though, most of my appts in Brockton, but my surgeon does all surgeries at St. Elizabeths.

Hope I'm doing this correctly. I'm actually from Plymouth but the program in Wareham was recommended to me. We should keep in touch.

I had to push mine back from October because of a financing hiccup. I am now scheduled for Jan 24th. I can't believe how fast the time is going!

@@barcelona37 I'm having my surgery at St Elizabeth's in Brighton. My doc doesn't have any specific preop diet but obviously I have to watch what I eat. I'm excited but also extremely nervous and anxious.

How was it? Mines is scheduled on Monday and I have to go under anesthesia

Sorry, I just saw this so I'm sure you've already had it done. But in case others wonder as well... It was so simple. I remember going into the room, answering some questions, and then waking up in recovery. I don't remember falling asleep or anything. And I was only in recovery for a few minutes. Maybe 15. My biggest concern when I have surgeries is being put under anesthesia as well. But one of my friends has been a nurse for almost 20 years, and she said the only complications she has ever seen or personally heard of is nausea. This helped ease my concerns a lot!

      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.
