Sucks for you and many others whose surgery has been cancelled.

I wouldn't say the country is losing it's mind though, more of case of being practical to protect patients and staff as well as ensuring beds may be availabile for victims of the virus if needed.

That's dreadful! I'm so sorry to hear that. I was so excited when I got my surgery date and I went into it without any fear. I know how you must feel.

But please stay on your diet. I was put on a diet the day I got my surgery date and I didn't cheat at all. I found my weight loss before surgery was FASTER than my weight loss after surgery! Go figure!

Good luck my friend.... you WILL have this surgery. Meantime, D-I-E-T :) You have to diet after surgery anyway!!

Best,

Grace

The country is saving lives by postponing elective surgeries. Fighting Coronavirus needs every piece of personal protection equipment for treating infected people and testing. Every elective surgery uses 5-6 sets of gloves, gowns, face masks. So you can feel good that your couple months delay in getting WLS is helping our nation fight deadly pandemic and saving lives.

      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.
