It never fails. Whenever I'm set to be out of the office for an extended amount of time, everybody wants everything all at once! Ugh. Anyway, my pre-op with my surgeon got moved up -- to TOMORROW morning, so there goes meetings I had scheduled for tomorrow. Also tomorrow, getting my tooth capped and cleaned and getting some more blood work done by my kidney specialist. Picking up my sis from the airport on Wednesday and then back to work later, and Thursday. Friday until April, I.am.OFF. I'm too busy to be nervous, but I bet by Sunday, I will be like the rest of you -- can't sleep, rethinking my life decisions, etc....🤪

Trust, it's not as bad as you may think. I'm still hoping for March 17th, but it may be pushed to the 18th. I met with the surgical team this morning and the hospital is trying to get their scheduling together.

It seems so long while going thru the pre-op liquid diet but those last few days really fly by! You got this! I’m one week out and finally feel better and coming out of the fog of pain meds I was on. Thank Goodness.

      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.
