I have a surgery date. April 25th, which is next Friday, I am excited and a little nervous about the anesthesia. I can't believe it, everything has gone so smoothly for me that I feel any minute I am going to get a call and someone says "belated april fool's". Thanks for all your support!

Hey Milo

Just had my surgery on 6 April and all went well. Including my 1 week pre op milk diet I have lost 17lbs so far. Understand your concerns with being put to sleep but am sure you'll be fine. Is probably safer than crossing the road :thumbup: Anyway, best of luck, welcome to the journey!!

My surgery was march 14th and I was freakiing about the anesthesia. I told the anesthesioligist about it the night before surgery when he called, and he was happy to discuss it with me. It really put me at ease. Then when I got to the surgery center for my surgery, I was so busy signing papers, getting IV's, talking to the nurses, then the doctor, that I completely forgot to worry about anything. Once you are there, the wheels just go. Good luck, relax, you will be fine.

      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.
