WooHoo!! I just got my date today for Sept 16th. I'm having the same problem I'll already be missing class that day but was planning on going to class the next day. I really don't want to miss any days so early in the semester but I guess I have to do what I have to do :biggrin: Best of luck to you!!

I could have stayed in a hotel an extra day, went to Mexico to be banded, but came home the day after surgery. Went thru waiting over 3 hours for my plane, the plane right, having to carry my own luggage, putting my own shoes back on, the trying to find where to meet my shuttle in a airport I was unfamiliar with in the dark, stopping on the way home (over an hour's drive) at the grocery store for some broth.

If I can do that a day after having surgery late the afternoon before, you could go back to school. Im also 57 years old which is a factor in getting more tired than you probably will be. Yes, it hurt to bend over and I was very tired, but you could conceivable sit in class if it was important to do so, skip whatever class wasnt so important.

      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.
