I have no idea if my surgery, which is scheduled for Monday the 24th, will be going ahead. I am so disheartened.

Call the hospital and ask them?

They don’t know. The situation is ever changing at the moment. Mostly I was crabbing about it.

Rant away!

But it may be best to have it when the nurse's aren't striking or thinking about striking. Can you imagine recovery care with fed up nurses? No thanks...

Hopefully they resolve it and your surgery happens soon!

Good news - whether they strike or not I am unlikely to be affected by it - they have to give 10 days notice from the day they choose to strike and I am only 5 days away! Whew! Now I won't whine about THAT anymore. Cant guarantee I won't be whining about something else 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.
