Aveamora....EXACT same thing happened with me at my pre-op on Wed. The lab tech could not for the life of her find a vein, then when she finally did she forget to take the second vile of blood and had to start all over again...ay yi yi!! My pre-op was also 4 hours. It was LONG but very informative. I've been on pre-op for almost 2 weeks and have lost 12lbs!! The first couple of days are tough but stick with it...IT DOES GET EASIER!! I know that being on the pre-op diet is going to help me tremendously when I transition into the post-op phase. OMG...only 4 more days until my surgery. I hope I'll be shaking by booty with joy like Miss Diaz is...LOL

I met with my surgeon this week, and am just awaiting approval from the insurance company (from which I have a verbal approval with approval number).

I can't wait for a surgery date!!

My FOUR HOUR LONG pre-op was today. They made me into swiss cheese not being able to find a vein. I am bruised and sore. Oh well, it is worth it. I start my liquids tomorrow. Anyone else on pre-op?

I'm on Medifast since Wednesday (I think we have the same surgery date?).

Sorry about the terrible blood draw, that happened to me getting an IV once when I was in labor. Needless to say I was not amused with my bruised and football sized hands while in labor! Ugh!

You're right, it will be worth it!

Who is next up for their surgery? Just want to make sure we are rallying support for EVERYONE!!

My surgery date is February 5th. I got really lucky and the same day my approval from the insurance came through, the Barix Clinic had a cancellation. They asked me if I wanted it...you bet I did!! ;)

This talk forum has been absolutely fantastic-with support and tips and just calming any fears and answering any questions!! I have learned a lot and think I am ready for what may come...

Thank You, Everyone!!

      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.
