Just noticed - our birthdays are 1 day apart (although you're just a young chick); our RE-birthdays are in the same month. Cool!!

I'm scheduled for October 22nd - only three weeks! I've been working on this process since May, but now that it's almost here, I'm kind of scared!

I am now 2 days away from my date of October 6, starting to get a little nervous. Think I'll head to the Mall and window shop for new cloths.

Evidently not many scheduled for October yet, let us know

Scheduled for Oct. 20th but have not gotten approval from insurance yet so trying very hard to not have my hopes up too high. Good luck to all. I will look forward to learning from those who go before me.

Your presurgery testing was alot different than mine!! I went to the hospital about a week before surgery They drew blood to type in case something goes wrong, took my blood pressure, temp ekg talked w/anatheselogy (that doesn't look right but too early in the am to find the dictionary) and went home

      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.
