My surgery was scheduled for the 19th. I started my preop liquid diet the 9th. Yesterday the surgeon (yes the surgeon himself actually called me) and told me we have to reschedule for the 22nd. We live 3 hours away from the surgery center and already made reservations, took the pets to a boarding place, took vacations, rearranged everyone's Christmas plans. I know it is a small bump in this long process and it will happen but just disappointed. Add 20 below zero temps outside, vehicles won't start, frozen Water to the mix..thanks for letting me vent...

The same thing happened to me...I was schedules for the 15th of November and they called me the day before saying they had to reschedule for the 17th. Soo sorry your delay threw such a monkey wrench in your plans!

I understand your frustration. Mine is tomorrow and my hospital billing dept called me Friday to say there's a problem with my insurance. WTH? Everyone arranged there schedule and took off and now I won't find out till I get there if the surgery will go forward. I have a tight schedule and need to travel next month for work so pushing the date back would really really blow. Im sure if I'm rescheduled it won't be until January which would mean June because of work! #sucks keep pressing forward ladies!

Good luck to you. It is a good thing they don't wait to do the psych eval on the day before the surgery because I am pretty sure I would not pass with all the ups and downs of emotions.

      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.
