@@Purple lady,

I didn't get a call either. Hmmmm

I posted the same question to a local FB group and others had not gotten a call but still had their surgery. I guess it depends on the surgeon's practice. I was given the opportunity to ask questions during my pre-op testing.

I go in at 9:30, but they told me surgery will be at 11:45am. I'm nervous. I don't know how I'll sleep tonight.

Haven't even packed anything yet, but from reading others posts I won't need much.

Good luck to everyone tomorrow.

How's everyone doing? I've been home a couple of hours. I'm really tired, but can't seem to relax at all. I'm worrying about everything.

Had a scare during my surgery. Doctor said my bp was going crazy high then really low. At one point I was bleeding much more than usually because of a high bp. She actually hugged me this morning and said I scared her. So, now I'm scared and kinda wish I had stayed another night in the hospital.

Hope everyone else had a much more normal procedure.

Glad you are doing better. I had a problem with both high BP and low saturation but it's the end of day 2 and I'm home relaxing. Can't wait for a night sleep where you are being woken up every 60-90 minutes. Hope it happens.

Just checking in on everyone. Had my surgery on 12/19/2016. Started out 266, after 3 day clear liquid I lost down to 255 on the day of surgery I was 260. It has been 72 hours later, and I am down 10lbs already. I'm not hurting in any of my incision sites, my pain is my soar throats from the intubation. But I have been gargling with salt and it's just now feeling better. Nervous about getting on the scale to see where I am. I have decided to only weigh in once a week.

QUESTION: is anyone having trouble getting all of this Fluid in each day? I am supposed to start drinking at 8AM AND FINISH BY 8PM, but I get so full and can't consume everything The said to drink on the meal sheet. Any advice???

      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.
