Hi,

I’m new here.

I’m having my surgery at the beginning of may in Montreal.

Anyone else on the same time frame?

We're close! Did you get insurance approval letter or did you pick a date then submit to insurance?

I'm looking at the last week of May, though I may have to push it back a week or two. My wife is having a knee replacement done on May 4th, so I'd like to wait until she's at least semi-mobile and no longer in constant agony. Fortunately both our kids are college age and will be able to take care of us. Neither kid drives though so my daughter will take me to and from the surgery in an Uber, and if we need groceries and such while I'm recovering, we'll have them delivered.

I picked May 30th than they sent insurance in than I got approved and went back to drs to get it changed sooner all they had was may14 so chose that instead of 30th. My drs suck and the lady was like they not going to approve it bc my 6 month weigh in was at primary drs but they approved it

      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.
