OMG I just realized we have the same surgeon. I'm having VSG on the 17th. How's your pre-op diet going? Were you the one they offered the date of the 10th from Merola's office because someone else cancelled?

No I dont think I was the one. Lol. Great we have the same surgeon. I am very excited and have mixed emotions about this surgery. I bought my broths and sugar free Jello and popsicles so for when I am home next week after surgery I am ready to start this brand new Journey.

oh ok lol. Cause when Carline called me she said she just gave the 10th to someone else had she known I wanted to go sooner. I feel the same way. One day I'm excited and the next I'm nervous. But we've come this far and we're in the home stretch. did you have your pre-surgery testing yet? I have mine on the 11th. You'll be upstairs recuperating. Let's keep in touch.

Friday (Oct 6th) at 2:45pm right now in Eastern Australia.

Six days from now, I'll be in the recovery ward after my op.

A week from now I'll (hopefully) be pacing the floors of Lingard Private Hospital, Merewether, Australia.

Eight days from now, I will probably be discharged to go home ... fingers-crossed.

Three views of the map of where the hospital is follows.

My surgery is scheduled for 10/11. What seemed to take forever now seems like it is coming so fast. Thankfully I think I’ve gotten over most of my anxiety about the whole process and have just switched over to a let’s do this mentality. I’m sure that will change a little once I’m sitting in the hospital waiting for surgery though lol.

      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.
