My date got changed... since I’m having RNY doc wanted me to be first case of day so pushed back a week to April 9th. I’m ok with that! Nutrition class this week and physical testing? Not sure what that is about.

@Tuckersmom went to seminar for new program, filled out paperwork, release of information to get records from the previous dirty dog program, put in request to be re evaluated by their psychologist at Medical Center and then I guess I sit here, smile sweetly and WAIT. I hope Medicare my primary continues to pick up this new stage of my journey, scared they won't cause they paid out to the d.d. program, if I have to go to secondary Medicaid I'll have to complete 3 more months of nutrition consult. I started out seeking this August 2015, even prisoners get credit for time served. I want to join you guys in April, wish it could be sooner. Next step is the psych, then they schedule a consult meeting with me to go over my plan tailored to little me. Then if things fell into place, and I pray God they do, and I don't have to serve another 3 months, I meet with the surgeon and it's my surgical date with destiny. Oooee I want it SO BAD![emoji7][emoji7][emoji7]

Psychological exam for 2 hours April 25th at Martha Morehouse Pavilion at O.S.U., maybe the wheels are turning towards an conclusion. I hope I can convince them I am.worthy, cognizant of the risks, willing to effect a lifelong dietary change and totally committed to receive this serious a surgery. And I also have to convince them I'm not too old, for someone of my age I am pretty healthy. Bottom line do all this without sounding too nutty. Can I do this? Yes I can! (with apologies to Bob The Builder).[emoji14][emoji14][emoji14]

      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.
