Well as you may or may not know my surgery on April 9th did not go as planned. Opened me up and closed me up almost as fast. Found a fatty mass but doc didn’t know what it was so he was hesitant to continue. Long story short, between the treatment from the staff at hospital to the treatment I’ve since received from the surgeon, my PCP is asking me to move on to a diff hospital and program. She’s appealing my insurance to get me into her hospital. Hoping it works. I’m tired of waiting. Ready to finally get this done and begin new journey. Feels like I’m in limbo.

It's already so stressful to go through the process of getting accepted and having a surgery date; to have to go through all you have and then wait is miserable.Let's hope things turn around for you and you get it done soon!

You might like to msg @numinousvessel - also open and closed with no surgery (in their case, due to intestinal adhesions). Messes with your head - might be nice to chat to someone else in your boat....

Oh good Lord! That's terrible, but so glad your PCP is working to get this moving forward for you. I can't even imagine the stress you're under! :(

      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.
