So I finally went to the pulmonary doctor and that is going to set me back a Few months. He thinks I have sleep apnea and I agree. I do want to have the machine if I need it. I’ve had issues with anesthesia in the past and I want to be able to come out of the anesthesia okay. However because it’s summer I am in my prime skin breakout season. I have painful cysts in my armpits and groin. I can’t wear anything too tight and forget taking a walk. I’m regretting not scheduling the pulmonary doctor first! I passed everything else. I’m doing okay with the overall prep situation. I’m keeping my calories within a limit. Making mostly good choices. Maybe it’s for the best that I am delayed a bit. I did buy an exercise step to do at home physical therapy. I have some issues with walking and balance. I use a walker for balance when I exercise so I don’t fall over. So I guess it’s all in the plan that I start my exercises first. My neurologist also did tell me to expect an increase in my tremors following the procedure. Just venting... Thanks for reading.

Thank you. I would have loved to do in person support groups but they aren’t holding them at this time. Glad we have this group.

      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.
